Ealier today, Roa while addressing media asserted that he still holds the post of chief secretary of Tamil Nadu. "This government has no guts to serve me the copy of a transfer order. I am the chief secretary of Tamil Nadu appointed by Amma. Rao's house and office were searched by Income Tax officials, who claimed to have recovered Rs 30 lakh cash in new notes and 5 kg of gold besides getting "disclosure" about Rs five crore of unaccounted income.
