I-T to assist CBI probe

The Income Tax department has formed a two-member team to assist the CBI, besides carrying out a parallel inquiry into alleged tax violations.

The department has appointed two officers each from the assessment and investigation wings to probe the case, official sources said. "We have already constituted a team... the members are based in Hyderabad," a senior IT official said. The CBI had discussions with income tax officials on Wednesday for the appointment of nodal officers in the case. PTI/New Delhi
