Sources said that the IT sleuths showed up at Jadhav's house at around 6 am this morning and started searching the premises. The raids on the Shiv Sena corporator are believed to have been conducted after allegations by BJP leader Kirit Somaiya regarding a 'Rs 100 scam' against Jadhav.
His wife Yamini Jadhav is the party MLA from the Byculla Assembly seat in Maharashtra.
