This is after the Department found that the owner of Panchkula-based Barnala Builders had spent an unaccounted for Rs 15 lakh on his son's wedding in December last.

Owner of Barnala Builders, Madan Lal Aggarwal, was later summoned by I-T officials to explain.

A senior I-T official said, “People who hold such lavish weddings create social liability for others. Government is against such lavish marriages. After we got a tip-off, we discovered discrepancies of over Rs 15 lakh. The income was unaccounted for and had been added to taxable income”.

More than Rs 35 lakh was spent on the marriage. PROs had been employed to project the wedding of groom Deepak Aggarwal and bride Aashi from Bhatinda as an out of the world experience. The wedding was planned by one of most wedding planners in India and the baraat was followed by a convoy of elephants, camels and horses.

Pole dancers had been called in for the wedding.

There were around 16 kinds of cuisines and all types of liquors. The bride was made to appear from an artificial moon and the groom emerged from an artificial rising sun.
