Former Haryana minister Gopal Goyal Kanda was let off by police in a 2008 case of assault on income tax officials, an official said on Saturday.
Kanda was the main accused in the assault on income tax officials during a raid at his MDLR Airlines office, but he along with his relative was let off in April 2012, a police official said.
According to the FIR lodged in February 2008, Kanda, his relatives Govind Aggarwal and Motilal, and 50 others were booked for assaulting the income tax raiding team with weapons and snatching away files and floppies that were taken into custody from the MDLR office.
After a probe, the police report which was submitted to the court gave Kanda and his relatives a clean chit. The next hearing is on September 10.
