The Income Tax Department carried out raids at three locations in Bihar’s Gaya ji district, described as a planned search and seizure operation causing concern among local businesses. The raids focused on two businessmen involved in the grain business, including a prominent rice mill owner. Premises were sealed, movement restricted, and business records scrutinized extensively.
The operation extended to a warehouse in the Manpur area, where additional records were seized and examined. Suspicions of income concealment through business operations and long-term tax evasion have arisen. Stringent security measures were in place, with local police ensuring no disruptions during the raids.
Income Tax officials are maintaining confidentiality, concentrating on cash transactions, investments, and bank records. The coordinated raids at multiple locations suggest a probe into a significant financial network. Speculation is high in Gaya ji about the duration and potential revelations of the ongoing raids, causing apprehension among traders and industrialists.
