Ramaswamy, who is presiding the committee, said that 12 of the 15 witnesses have already been examined and asked them to provide entire documents, with regard to the case.

When his reaction was sought on the arrest of a Chartered Accountant U A Pai in Mumbai for allegedly accepting bribe money meant for an Income tax commissioner, he said that the Institute had sought for details, including the activities of Pai. A detailed report was expected tomorrow, Ramaswamy said.
