Mumbai: A 21-year-old girl from Hyderabad, studying chartered accountancy, has hacked into mega industrialist Anil Ambani's efiling of Income-Tax returns and later told police she merely wanted to know how much income tax Anil Ambani pays.
The girl not only went through Anil Ambani's etax return, but also returns from previous years, and his PAN card number. She also changed the password of his e-account on the I-T website.
The woman, who was booked by the Mumbai Police six days ago, is doing her chartered accountancy articleship at Manoj Daga & Company, a leading tax consultancy firm based in Hyderabad's Chikkadpally area.
She is the niece of the firm's owner, Manoj Daga, and the daughter of a senior banker.
The girl told police that her only motive was to find out how much.
The girl has been booked under various sections of the Information-Technology Act.
A Mumbai Police officer said, "Being a chartered accountancy student, she should have been aware of the implications of hacking into a VVIP tax account. She may be arrested once we find out what other information she accessed."
The police sources said that on June 26, chartered accountant Nilesh Doshi, who looks after Anil Ambani's individual tax details, received an email from the I-T Department confirming the password of the tycoon's e-return account had been changed as requested.
