The income tax department has issued summons for appearance to BJP president Nitin Gadkari in connection with its investigation against him and some associated companies for alleged tax evasion.

Top sources in the department said Gadkari has been asked for his personal appearance so that he can be confronted with the documents and probe conducted by the I-T in this regard in the last few months.

"He had sought an adjournment for two weeks citing that he is not present in Nagpur. He has been given the extension and the new date for appearance is January 21," they said.
