Angul: The GST officials have detected tax evasion amounting to more than Rs 60 crore during raids on business establishments of 2 brothers in Odisha’s Angul.

According to sources, the GST officials conducted simultaneous raids on the properties of the two brothers at 5 places on Saturday. Hingula Transport of Mahendra Behera and Hingula Traders of his brother Rajendra Behera were also raided.

The GST officials checked the document and seized some papers and electronic devices related to business transactions. The tax evasion has been detected mostly in coal mining and transportation by the two brothers, the sources said.
