I-T department probes Delhi lawyer over seizure of Rs 13.65 crore

Investigators probing the seizure of Rs 13.65 crore including Rs 2.6 crore new currency from Delhi based lawyer Rohit Tandon’s residence are now looking for leads to establish the source of the money. 

It is suspected that the money was parked in his house and belongs to someone else.

Tandon is being questioned by officials from the Income Tax Department and several of his associates are also being grilled to unravel the source of the money. He claims he has no idea of how the money reached his residence. 

Tandon has rubbished all allegations made against him, including his links with arms dealers calling it absolute nonsense.

So far investigators had found 18 bank accounts in India and a few abroad. Tandon claims these are legitimate accounts, as he runs a big law firm which even has offices abroad.
