Honeytrap case: Delhi doc under I-T radar

Yavatmal: The Delhi doctor who was duped of Rs2 crore by 22-year-old Sandesh Mankar (deceased) from Yavatmal, is now under the scanner of income tax (I-T) department for the source of his income.
Cops had recovered Rs1.74 crore cash from Mankar, which — said police superintendent (SP) Dr Dilip Patil Bhujbal — has been deposited in the district treasury. The court has been informed accordingly, Bhujbal added.
The SP said police has brought the cash haul to I-T department’s notice. “We have asked them to call the doctor to explain how he amassed such a huge amount,” Bhujbal said, adding that the doctor should disclose the source of his income.
Bhujbal further said that the doctor would be given the money only after he satisfies the investigation officer and the I-T officials. “The legal process has to be followed before refund is granted,” the SP added.
Meanwhile, the doctor has moved an application in Yavatmal court for the return of the amount seized by the cops from honeytrap mastermind Mankar at Arunodaya Society.
Mankar died by suicide in a flat off Darwha Road on Thursday night. The 22-year-old was released on bail and staying with his relative after being nabbed by the cyber cell of Yavatmal police.
