I-T issues notice to Singhvi’s wife for purchases from Nirav Modi

NEW DELHI: The Income Tax Department today issued a notice to Anita Singhvi, the wife of senior Congress leader Abhishek Manu Singhvi, asking her to explain about certain jewellery purchases, amounting to Rs 6 crore, allegedly from a showroom owned by beleaguered diamantaire  Nirav Modi, sources said.

Singhvi, meanwhile, refuted the allegations made against his family and described the action as  “harassment” being meted out to him as he belonged to an opposition political party.

The notice, the sources said, was issued today to Anita Singhvi and that she was asked to explain how much she had paid in cash and through cheque to purchase the valuables and jewellery a few years back. (AGENCIES)
