New Delhi, June 21 :     Suspended income-tax officer Vishwa Bandhu Gupta today said he would request the high court to ask the government to bring to book all those 'guilty of bad money'. Gupta said he was aware that 'cricketers' had declared undisclosed income under the voluntary disclosure scheme (VDIS) and wondered why the government was not coming out with details to clean up the game. 'Why isn't the finance ministry making a statement...instead of the media depending on one person to speak the truth?' he asked. Gupta, an additional commissioner of income-tax, was suspended yesterday 'for his conduct unbecoming of a government servant'. The move came a few days after he was shown in a video footage by a website as having named Mohammed Azharuddin for making a huge declaration under VDIS. Gupta said he would soon file a petition in the Delhi High Court asking for a directive to the government to disclose the 'frauds' committed under the various finance ministry schemes, including VDIS. The officer said that 'criminals' had used the scheme to convert their black money into white and argued that despite the Centre's target of Rs 35,000 crore, the plan had regularised around Rs 150,000 crore. 'This is the criminality I am talking about. I will soon seek a judicial sanction to the government mandating it to take action against these criminals,' Gupta said. The 1977-batch Indian Revenue Service officer attributed his suspension to inroads made by mafia groups in the bureaucracy and asserted he would challenge the order in the high court after it reopens following the summer recess. 'Mafia organisations have a big hand in my suspension as my demand to make public the VDIS scheme would have brought several skeletons tumbling out of their cupboards,' Gupta said. He added that another reason for his suspension might have been his demand for a thorough investigation into the alleged links between cricketers and mafia gangs operating in Mumbai. 'During the (1993) Bombay blasts, Mumbai police taped several conversations between cricketers and mafia people... which were not investigated,' the suspended officer said. 'After the blasts, the police came across plenty of recordings, statements and documents which were enough to prove the nexus of cricket bookies, mafia and the activities of the ISI.' He alleged that Mumbai police goofed up on the issue and did not question the cricketers. 'Had they done so, the matter of match-fixing would have ended there,' Gupta said. The taxman said that he expected vigilance commissioner N. Vittal to express his opinion. 'After all, if Vittal believes in what he says, then he should come out and express his views,' Gupta said.
