The Income Tax Department raided the Noida residence of media baron Raghav Bahl, the co-founder of media organization the Quint.

The IT raids were carried out allegedly for evading tax on undisclosed income.

The IT Department said that a team of sleuths raided the residence early morning looking for documents related to the tax evasion probe.

In a message to the Editor’s Guild, Bahl said that he was in Mumbai when the raid happened at his house.
