Senior tax official Vivek Batra and his wife, who are facing claims of amassing assets illegally, made over 20 trips abroad within six years, including eight visits to the US in a six month period, the CBI has learned.
The agency's inquiries against the couple also revealed they laundered funds through phoney companies listed on the stock market and resorted to creative accounting techniques to conceal their ill-gotten gains, a CBI officer said. Investigators are trying to determine how the pair managed to maintain an office for private consultancy services in the posh Jolly Maker complex in Nariman Pointand two homes in Delhi and Goa, apart from their Mumbai residence, which has a staff of six helpers.
