"I can say that the information is true. I cannot share anything," a senior IT official told PTI on condition of anonymity.
The official was responding to a query on a report in a leading English daily about the Income Tax department waiting for a response from the state government over the matter.
"We have handed over the documents to police. This is all that I can say now," he said.
Reacting to the media report, DMK Working President and Leader of the Opposition in state Assembly, M K Stalin demanded action in the matter.
He urged Chief Minister K Palaniswami to order a probe in this regard under a sitting judge of the Madras High Court and to take 'stern action' against anyone allegedly involved if the report was found to be true.
