Searches are being carried out at 28 areas of the Jesus Calls group, in Chennai and Coimbatore
The Income Tax (IT) Department on Wednesday morning knocked on the doorways of evangelist Paul Dhinakaran who heads the Jesus Calls ministry, on suspicion of an enormous tax evasion. Over 28 areas belonging to the group in Chennai and Coimbatore got here under the taxmen’s lens.
In Coimbatore, an academic institute, Karunya Institute of Technology and Sciences, can also be being searched. Paul Dhinakaran is the Chancellor of this institute.
Sources within the IT division mentioned that the first motive for the search is to test if there was any tax evasion. “Since it is a big group we will be able to provide details only at the end of the raids,” he added.
Jesus Calls collects donations under varied schemes and plans that it gives on its web site.
