According to ED officials, Pandey had played a key role in procuring a passport for Khan from Patna in 1997 using forged documents. Pandey, who was then an officer on special duty (OSD) to foreign minister I.K. Gujral, had written a letter on his letterhead to Patna regional passport office requesting to expedite Khan's passport application.
Pandey also allegedly travelled with Khan and Kolkata-based businessman Kashinath Tapuria, whose role is also being probed in the black money case, to Singapore to open a bank account. ED officials suspect that the Singapore account was used to park Khan's black money.
A few days ago, ED officials had raided Pandey's house in Delhi to ascertain his links with Khan. The sleuths had seized documents related to an account in United Bank of Switzerland, a diary containing Khan's phone numbers, a key to a bank locker and two GPS sets from Pandey's house.
