Investigation department’s deputy director Vimal Meena was called fat the office. Shah’s Chartered Accountant(CA) Sethna was present with him at IT office. Sethna in earlier talk with media said Shah was absent when Income Tax search was carried out at his home, and therefore he will first need to give statement to IT department.

He also said he would expose the names of those for whom he filed IDS submission before IT officials.
