There is no trace of the letter dated August 11, 2016, which the Principal Director of I-T (Investigation) B.R. Balakrishnan handed over to the then Chief Secretary P.S. Another letter with identical contents was handed over to the then DGP Ashok Kumar. Inquiries with well-placed sources in the State administration on Sunday revealed that an internal probe has been ordered to ascertain how these classified documents went missing. Sources claimed that the I-T Department’s letters, whose receipt was acknowledged, had gone missing over six months ago.
