The AO has only considered the statement of Praveen Kumar Jain and other directors but has not considered the retraction in which it was stated that the statement has been recorded under pressure and duress. The ld CIT(A) also noted that AO has not commented and considered the assessee submissions that Shri Praveen Kumar is not involved in any capacity in the investing companies.
