Facing an Income Tax inquiry since he was taken into custody along with Father Anthony Madasserry by the Khanna police, Jalandhar resident Harpal Singh today said he did not remember having seen any bank vehicle meant for cash collection parked in the generalate house at Partappura when the raid by the Khanna police took place last Friday.
Son-in-law of retired AIG (Prisons) Surinder Kaur (90) and a resident of Chhoti Baradari here, Harpal Singh claims that he had parked his car on the premises but he did not remember having seen any bank vehicle there. He even said he did not see any bank staff in the house even though Father Anthony told him that bank personnel had come with cash counting machines on the first floor of the house.
Owner of the building in which Sahodhaya Partnership Firm of Father Anthony is being run in the Ladhewali area here, Harpal Singh showed his rent agreement for five years signed by Father Anthony’s partner, Father Jose.
All of them along with Father Anthony had gone together to appear before the Income Tax team along with a CA on March 30 afternoon, a day after the raid.
