CBDT denies allegations of Nirav Modi investigation documents being destroyed in Mumbai Scindia House fire

Mumbai, Jun 4 (IBNS): The Union Ministry of Finance, on Monday, in a release refuted the allegations that records and documents relating to investigation into the Nirav Modi/Mehul Choksi case have been destroyed in the Scindia House fire in Income Tax Office in Mumbai.

Through the release, Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) said, "It is further clarified that the records/documents of the ongoing investigations into the Nirav Modi/ Mehul Choksi case had already been transferred to the assessment units housed in different buildings, as part of the assessment process."

Apprehensions about any loss/ damage to the records/documents relating to the Nirav Modi/Mehul Choksi case in the said fire at the IT Office, Mumbai are, therefore, misplaced, the release said.
