New Delhi, July 24 :    New Delhi, July 24:  Samata Party president Jaya Jaitly today accused some tax officials of demanding bribe and assailed minister of state for revenue Dhananjaya Kumar and sports minister S.S. Dhindsa for speaking out of turn on the match-fixing probe even before investigations are complete. Jaitly alleged that a certain income-tax officer had demanded Rs 50,000 while raiding cricketer Ajay Jadeja's office. She accused a section of income-tax officers and the two ministers of spreading 'lies' in the media to denigrate institutions and defame individuals. Jaitly said the 'underlings' among investigators were so greedy that they demanded food while raiding Jadeja's office (Jadeja Consultants Private Limited) where her daughter Aditi is employed. Aditi is Jadeja's fiancee. She is authorised to sign his cheque books in his absence. All that the raiding party could lay its hands on was Rs 1,115 in cash and some change, Jaitly said, adding that 14 of them demanded that they be treated to pizzas. They ate up 60 rotis, she said. 'The tax authorities should see to it that they (search parties) carry their own food,' Jaitly added. 'They asked my daughter personal questions: whether she travelled abroad with Jadeja... is it for IT men to ask questions like this?' The investigators tried unsuccessfully to search Jaitly's house in Khirki village, south Delhi, last week. She was, however, questioned and her statement recorded. Jaitly said later she met finance minister Yashwant Sinha and complained to him that the taxmen sought bribe and tried to shoot her dog. Sinha promised to look into the matter. She appealed to Kumar and Dhindsa to refrain from making public statements which could derail the investigation. Jaitly pointed out that Kumar's comment 'within 24 hours' of the raids that he had 'clinching evidence' to prove the nexus between bookies and cricketers was contradicted by a tax officer who said it would take at least two months to finish the probe. She also objected to Dhindsa's statement that minor players were worth Rs 10 crore while the stars were valued at Rs 200 crore each. 'How can a sports minister make such a statement? Will not it derail a fair investigation?' she asked. The Samata chief said she had no interest in cricket. But she felt compelled to express her views as she wanted 'to ensure that government agencies work honestly and do not exceed their brief'. Facing a volley of questions on whether she was trying to exert pressure on tax officials as Jadeja was closely linked to her daughter, Jaitly denied all the insinuations.
