IT probes how officials got so many new notes:
The primary focus on the probe would be how the officials managed to source so many new notes.
While on one hand people are complaining about a short supply of the new notes, it is quite surprising that these officials had new notes to the tune of Rs 4.7 crore.
We are pursuing the trail and will get to the bottom of it says the IT department. We suspect the involvement of a bank official who would have given these officials the new notes, the IT official notes.
