The names of the companies were King Buildwell Pvt Ltd, New Age Infrawell Pvt Ltd, Nirman Infratech Pvt Ltd, Advent IT Solutions Pvt Ltd and Fast Buildwell Pvt Ltd. According to news reports, documents filed by BJP president Nitin Gadgari’s firm Purti Power and Sugar Ltd with the Registrar of Companies show that these companies have stakes in his group.

Afraid that his family may be in the middle of a controversy, Tokas, 52, reported the matter at Vasant Vihar police station. He recalled that in 2006-07, his family received five PAN cards at their address. Since the family often rents out their four-storey house to students and professionals, they kept the card for six months before disposing them.

“We thought our tenants must have applied for the cards. We enquired from those who were residing at our house but none of them had applied. We keep getting mails of tenants who used live here. Sometimes they too come to claim it. So we kept them (PAN cards) for six months. After that I cut them into pieces as anyone could misuse it,” Jagdeep Tokas, son of Balwan Singh Tokas.

Tokas, in his plaint, has said that he is a resident of house number 189 in Munirka village, his ancestral property. “I received PAN cards in 2006-07 and destroyed them after none of my tenants claimed them. On October 25, 2012, I received proofs of five companies registered at my address. The names of these companies are King Buildwell Pvt Ltd, New Age Infrawell pvt ltd, Nirman Infratech Pvt Ltd, Advent IT Solutions Pvt ltd and Fast buildwell Pvt ltd. I request you to take action against these companies who have misused my address,” he has stated in his compliant.

Standing outside his house at Moti Bara Choupal surrounded by neighbours and relatives, Tokas said that on Thursday the police had approached him to verify the address of the companies. “We told them that we only have a grocery store and have never heard of any of those companies. Today when the media came to our place, we realized the gravity of situation. We approached the police with the complaint that our address is being forged by these companies,” said Tokas.

He said the family never received any notice from the Income Tax Department.
