Kerala Opposition Calls for CBI Probe into Alleged Tax Fraud
The Leader of Opposition in Kerala, V.D. Satheesan, wants a special investigation into a tax fraud.
He claims someone created fake business registrations to avoid paying taxes, costing the state a lot of money.
He believes the government's response was insufficient after the fraud was uncovered.
Satheesan is asking for a CBI investigation because the fraud has links across states and involves the Integrated Goods and Services Tax (IGST).
He is also worried about how the fraud impacts regular people and officials.
V.D. Satheesan alleges a Rs 1,100 crore GST fraud in Kerala.
Fraudulent registrations were obtained in the names of common people.
The state government reportedly suffered a Rs 200 crore loss.
Satheesan demands a CBI investigation into the matter.
He claims the GST system is collapsing.
