New Delhi: The Central Board of Direct Taxes
(CBDT) on Tuesday said that no summonses have been issued to
Members of Parliament (MP) in connection with investigation of
black money cases.
"It has also been reported (in sections of press) that
summons have been issued to some Members of Parliament.
This information is factually incorrect and is therefore
denied", CBDT said in a release.
The CBDT was responding to media reports that summonses
were issued to three MPs from Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and
Kerala to appear for questioning at the Delhi office of I-T
department's recently-set up Directorate of Criminal
Investigation (DCI) and explain source of funds parked in
Geneva accounts.
According to reports, some investigations relating to
banking information received from overseas were referred to
the Directorate of Criminal Investigation by the CBDT for
prosecution.
