IT dept to submit report on conversations between Qureshi and ex-CBI chief AP Singh

The Income Tax department, which has kept the controversial meat exporter Moin Qureshi under its scanner, is likely to submit a report to the government about the purported conversations between him and former CBI director AP Singh, currently a UPSC member.

According to official sources on Wednesday, the government may ask the Enforcement Directorate(ED) to carry out a probe on Qureshi’s overseas financial dealings and also examine the payments made to various accounts in Gulf and some European countries.

The sources said that the Tax authorities will submit to the government soon a tax appraisal report containing their observations on the conversation the meat exporter had with various people including with Singh. The report will also recommend a ED probe in the case, the sources added.

The alleged exchange of messages on Blackberry smart phone between Qureshi and Singh had been examined by the Tax authorities and sources in the department have alleged that certain coded languages were used by the duo.
