Nearly 150 officers and staff were deployed in this large-scale operation. According to officials, the action was triggered by complaints of tax evasion, large cash transactions, undeclared income, and the use of fake documents.

The group is suspected of large-scale cash dealings in property transactions and black money use.
More details about the raid were awaited. Besides the real estate group, the Income Tax officers were raiding three locations linked to the Siddheshwar Gums (Signature Pan Masala, Kota). The company reportedly faces charges of irregular financial records and tax evasion.
The raid was also being carried out at six locations of the Gokul Kripa Group (BRB Developers, Jaipur). Allegations include undeclared income and suspicious property transactions. Raids began in the morning and are likely to continue till late at night, sources said.
Teams were scanning documents, computer systems, and digital records at all locations, the sources added. Sources hinted at the possibility of large recoveries of cash and incriminating documents.
