AAP MLA Kartar Singh holds secret stash worth Rs 130 crore: officials
The raid disclosed that Tanwar set up fake companies and shell companies, and owned benami properties in NCR.
New Delhi: Tax officials claimed on Tuesday that property dealer and AAP MLA Kartar Singh Tanwar, whose house was raided by the Income Tax officials in July, holds ‘unaccounted wealth’ worth 130 crores.
According to reports, the IT department searched the Chhatarpur MLA’s house meticulously, and did not even spare a pile of buffalo dung.
The raid disclosed that Tanwar set up fake companies and shell companies, and owned benami properties in NCR.
He was also unable to explain how he was able to pay for the 2.6 acre farm house in South Delhi that he was living in.
When his residence was raided, the party rallied to his defence, claiming that he was being politically targeted on behalf of a ‘vindictive central government’.
Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia had said, “Modiji, you deploy the CBI, Delhi Police, IB, ED and Income Tax, but we will keep doing our work.”
