By IANSWednesday, April 28, 2010
PANCHKULA - Officials of the Income Tax (IT) department here Wednesday questioned officials of KPH Dreams Private Limited, which owns Indian Premier League (IPL) team Kings XI Punjab.
According to officials, this questioning went on for nearly five hours at the office of the IT department (investigation wing), north-west region, here.
“We have also scrutinised various accounts documents pertaining to the previous three editions of the IPL. We have seized some documents but we cannot divulge details at this moment,” said an IT department official here Wednesday.
The IT department sleuths also refused to disclose the names of Kings XI Punjab officials who were questioned.
Earlier, a team of IT officials had visited the godown-cum-office of Kings XI Punjab in the neighbouring Mohali town, in Punjab, April 23, to verify some documents.
These moves were prompted by the recent controversies in the IPL over new Kochi franchise and questions being raised about the sources of its funds, sources said.
