The Enforcement Directorate (ED) is likely to join the investigation into a multi-crore GST fraud recently uncovered in Gujarat, causing panic among state officials. The Ahmedabad crime branch has identified 220 fake firms involved in fraudulent transactions, sparking concerns of money laundering. Additionally, “sensitive” messages exchanged between senior IAS and IPS officers and journalist Mahesh Langa have raised eyebrows, as Langa is currently in custody for his involvement in the case.

The ED’s involvement aims to trace the money trail through the maze of shell companies. Sources indicate that senior bureaucrats may have passed on sensitive information, possibly benefiting opposition parties and corporates.

On October 9, Langa was arrested alongside three others for an input tax credit (ITC) fraud, linked to a firm called DA Enterprise, which was registered in the names of his relatives. The case continues to develop as more individuals have been arrested in connection with the fraud.
