The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India today said that it will conduct an inquiry into the matter of the 21-year-old CA student allegedly hacking the Income-Tax account of industrialist Anil Ambani.
Subodh Kumar Agrawal, President of ICAI, said that the Hyderabad-based girl, who is pursuing her CA articleship, would get a notice in this regard.
“The issue has been forwarded to the respective department,” he said.
When asked if there would be any action against Manoj Daga & Company, the CA firm where the girl is doing her articleship, Agrawal said that it is too early to say anything.
“First we will inquire with the student and later if anything is found, then we will go ahead for others,” he said.
According to Mumbai police, the girl allegedly hacked Ambani’s e-filing of Income-Tax returns to find out the details of his income and the tax he paid.
A case was registered against her under the Information Technology Act on September 7.
