Following raids by the income tax department at the residence of Noida Authority’s former engineer-in-chief Yadav Singh, the special investigation team (SIT) on black money on Saturday directed the chairperson of the central board of direct taxes to monitor the proceedings against Singh and share information with the enforcement directorate (ED) to take up the case for investigation.
In a meeting of the SIT held here under chairman Justice MB Shah and vice-chairman Justice Arijit Pasayat, the team reviewed the progress made in the case of illegal amassing of assets by Singh and decided that “the chairperson, CBDT, would monitor the search, seizure and further appropriate proceedings against Yadav Singh and other connected persons.” Further, the team also asked the director general investigation to give the information about the case to ED to take further action.
