Ranchi: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) continued its raids for the second consecutive day at multiple locations in Mumbai in connection with a ₹750 crore GST scam. The operation, which began on August 7, targeted 12 premises linked to six individuals involved in the alleged fraud.
Multiple Locations and Key Accused
On August 7, ED teams searched the premises of Shyam Thakkar from Ranchi, Gyanchand Jaiswal from Jamshedpur, Panchanand Sardar from Seraikela, Chinu Agarwal alias Amit Agarwal from Dhanbad, and Ankesh Jain alias Malik Ji from Mumbai. By late night, searches at five individuals’ premises were completed, but new leads in Mumbai connected to Ankesh Jain prompted the continuation of raids into the second day.
Seizure of Documents and Digital Evidence
During the raids, ED officials recovered crucial documents related to the wrongful availing of Input Tax Credit (ITC) and seized digital devices along with other records from the traders’ premises. These materials are expected to play a key role in further investigation into the large-scale GST fraud.
