The Benami Assets Investigation wing of the Income Tax Department has attached property worth Rs 2.36 crore of Rajesh Sharma, director of Trishul Construction Company and the group.
Rajesh Sharma and his associates will not be able to sell this property now. Earlier, the investigating wing of the Income Tax Department had also attached many properties of Sharma.
Both the wings have taken separate action to attach the property. In the latest case, the Benami Assets Investigation wing of the Income Tax Department has also attached Rajesh Sharma's three-storey building in Kasturba Nagar. The value of this property alone is Rs 1.80 crore.
On December 18, the Income Tax Department raided 56 locations of the directors of Trishul Construction, Quality Group, Ishan Group in the state. In the raids conducted at 53 locations in Bhopal, two in Indore and one in Gwalior, the Income Tax Department got information about Rs 10 crore in cash and more than 25 lockers.
The investigating wing of the Income Tax Department had written a letter to the registration office of the state informing about the attachment of the property. Now the Benami Assets Investigation wing of the Income Tax Department has also attached benami property related to land and house worth Rs 2 crore 36 lakh after investigation.
The property, which has been attached for four months, cannot be sold or purchased without the permission of the Income Tax Department.
After the Income Tax raid at Rajesh Sharma's house, the investigation of the benami bank revealed that he had bought and sold benami properties through his own people. In the case of the property of Barkheda Nathu, it has come to light that the payment for the property bought by Rajesh Sharma in the name of Deepak Tulsani was first made to Rajesh Tiwari through Sanjay Meena and then through Rajesh Tiwari, the money was deposited in the account of Sharma's wife Radhika and the purchase was shown. In the investigation of the Income Tax, it became clear that this entire transaction was done by Rajesh Sharma only. After this, the property was attached.
