Corporate houses cheating on taxes is always a big ticket story for Indian Media. There was much brouhaha in the Media when a list of people holding Swiss Accounts was released. Although some of these accounts could have been legal, holding legal money, media went overboard with the coverage of this story, simply because Tax Frauds, Black Money etc help in getting TRPs. But Alas, NDTV’s own alleged tax fraud in connivance with Chidambaram has gone completely unreported. Is no media house aware of this? Is this some nuclear secret?

Luckily for us S Gurumurthy, a well-known Chartered Accountants and corporate advisor has laid bare NDTV’s crooked ways at blackmailing an Income Tax Officer who has detected the tax fraud. Here are his tweets:

NDTV tax fraud: Two lady officials of IT Dept became proxies for NDTV and PC. They charged Sanjay Srivastava with sexual harassment. Read on — S Gurumurthy (@sgurumurthy) March 17, 2015

The names of the 2 lady Income Tax officials are Sumana Sen and Ashima Neb. Sumana Sen’s husband Abhisar Sharma was employed with NDTV as a senior journalist, when Sen is alleged to have favoured NDTV in a Tax case, in exchange for a Rs 1 crore holiday.

NDTV tax fraud [4]: the probe held that the letters of Srivastava about them were defamatory. They never even worked with or under him — S Gurumurthy (@sgurumurthy) March 17, 2015

NDTV tax fraud [5] The probe held the ladies themselves stated on record that “Srivastava never sought any sexual favor from them” — S Gurumurthy (@sgurumurthy) March 17, 2015

NDTV Tax fraud [6]: Committee of five members [4 ladies] unanimously exonerated Srivastava. It says “complete agreement among all members” — S Gurumurthy (@sgurumurthy) March 17, 2015

NDTV tax fraud: Still two ladies meet all officials of the govt and falsely say that Sanjay is guilty. Pincers of PC in CBDT support them — S Gurumurthy (@sgurumurthy) March 17, 2015

CBDT tax fraud: Srivastava single handedly fights the might of NDTV which has friends in this government. Only a few support him like me. — S Gurumurthy (@sgurumurthy) March 17, 2015

NDTV tax fraud: Srivastava has fixe the NDTV in a Rs 900 cr tax fraud and has materials which will prove their money laundering. — S Gurumurthy (@sgurumurthy) March 17, 2015

NDTV tax fraud: The ladies have approached SC with a public interest litigation that Sanjay is harassing them Where is public interest in it — S Gurumurthy (@sgurumurthy) March 17, 2015

NDTV Tax fraud: The SC has admitted the petition. They have now moved an application saying that their assessment orders should be quashed!! — S Gurumurthy (@sgurumurthy) March 17, 2015

In the tax assessment case of Abhisar Sharma, Rs 43 lacs was added to his Income in lieu of holiday expenses borne by NDTV, his employer. This, all-expenses-paid holiday is said to be the bribe given to Abhisar Sharma and his wife (Sumana Sen, who was the Income Tax Officer looking into NDTV case). The effect of this addition of Rs 43 lacs is that it proves Sumana Sen and Husband received undue benefits from NDTV. Now Sumana Sen has approached Supreme court with a PIL that Sanjay Srivastava (Income Tax Officer who nailed NDTV) is harassing her and hence The order of adding Rs 43 lacs to her and her husband’s Income should be quashed. If this addition is quashed, Sumana can claim she was never bribed.

NDTV tax fraud: never in the history of judiciary that by PIL by private interests would get relief for them under IT law with its own rules — S Gurumurthy (@sgurumurthy) March 17, 2015

NDTV tax fraud: the mainline media is silent. They do not want to be blamed for breaking media unity and tell the truth — S Gurumurthy (@sgurumurthy) March 17, 2015

I am fighting NDTV in Courts. Intervened in NDTV case against Madhu Kishwar. Seeking to intervene in fake PL case against Srivastava in SC — S Gurumurthy (@sgurumurthy) March 17, 2015

The way Srivastava has been persecuted can be the subject of a huge study or book. He has borne the might of PC n NDTV together for 10yrs — S Gurumurthy (@sgurumurthy) March 17, 2015

NDTV prosperity rose with UPA advent in power on 2004. Srivastava accidentally tumbled on PC-NDTV nexus after he began investigating NDTV. — S Gurumurthy (@sgurumurthy) March 17, 2015

For concealing that only she should have been sacked. But Srivastava was suspended on false charges by PC. To suspend him files were forged. — S Gurumurthy (@sgurumurthy) March 17, 2015

PC suspended Srivastava in panic after corrupt CBDT officials told him PC Srivastava was probing PC. But that can’t be ground Files we faked — S Gurumurthy (@sgurumurthy) March 17, 2015

The original ground of suspension was changed into misbehaviour. So the original pages had to be torn. Pages from some other files wr tagged — S Gurumurthy (@sgurumurthy) March 17, 2015

NDTV fraud:First 12 pp of file no 13 were tagged to p 13 onwards of file no 36. All these are on record on courts and 2G Parliamentary probe — S Gurumurthy (@sgurumurthy) March 17, 2015

If Gurumurthy’s comments are correct, this incident warrants an inquiry by the government.
