The Director of Income Tax (investigation) Sivasankaran on Sunday, May 28, said the attack on I-T Department officials, allegedly by the DMK workers and the supporters of Minister for Electricity, Excise and Prohibition V. Senthilbalaji in Karur two days ago, was “deliberate”. The I-T Department officials would not be scared by the lodging of counter and malicious complaints against them, he added.
Mr. Sivasankaran spoke to reporters after visiting four I-T Department officials at the Government Medical College Hospital (GMCH) here, where they were under treatment after suffering injuries in the incident reported in front of the house of V. Ashok Kumar, brother of the Minister, and others in different parts of Karur on Friday, May 26.
Mr. Sivasankaran said a woman official had suffered fracture and three others had suffered internal injuries. The attacks were deliberate. They were assaulted in such a manner that injuries should not be physically known, he charged.
