<h1>CBDT Denies Media Report on Politician Tax Search; Documents' Authenticity in Question Due to Lack of Originals.</h1> The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) refuted a media report regarding a search conducted under the Income-tax Act on a politician and his associates. During the search, loose papers, allegedly containing political information and linked to another political figure, were found. The politician claimed the documents were copies and could not verify their authenticity, nor did he possess the originals. The other political figure denied any connection to the documents, labeling them as fabricated. A forensic analysis was hindered due to the absence of original documents, casting doubt on the credibility of the loose sheets.
