New Delhi: The Justice R S Pathak Commission, which is probing allegations made in the Paul Volcker report on the oil-for-food scam in Iraq, has issued a second notice to former external affairs minister Natwar Singh and his son Jagat Singh.
Notices have also been served on businessman Andaleeb Sehgal, Vipin Khanna and Aneil Matherani, former Indian envoy to Croatia. The five have to file replies in seven days.
The commission found the replies they gave to its first notice evasive and without all the information it had asked for. The replies were evasive, perfunctory and without documents.
To some queries, the respondents replied that they had already given all relevant material to the Enforcement Directorate (ED).
In a related development, London-based NRI Aditya Khanna, whom the ED wants to question in connection with the scam, has returned to India. Khanna managed to leave the country earlier this week though the ED had got his passport cancelled. The ED will question him again.
