Ahmedabad: On the second day of the search by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) across Gujarat in connection with the multi-crore CGST scam, officials found documents and valuables that will be analysed further to understand the scope of the scam and all the players involved.
The ED launched the probe in the case, originally registered by the Ahmedabad City Crime Branch, after filing a case under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).Eight persons, including a journalist Mahesh Langa, have been apprehended in connection with the case.
While ED officials remained tight-lipped about the finds from 23 locations in Ahmedabad, Rajkot, Surat, and Junagadh, among others, sources said that the primary focus is to unravel the connection between various firms involved and the transactions allegedly fabricated by the accused in the case to claim the input credit tax from govt exchequer.
