The officials of the Directorate General of GST Intelligence (DGGI) of Ahmedabad raided a unit belonging to the brother of former Gondal MLA over charges of ₹500 crore fraud in High-speed diesel (HSD) trade.

The DGGI arrested the chartered accountant of Ashapura Enterprise, which belongs to Hardevsinh Jadeja, the brother of former BJP MLA of Gondal, Jayrajsinh Zala.

According to preliminary reports, the accused enterprise manipulated the invoice of imported HSD.

Embezzlement of GST worth crores have also been revealed by importing base oil from foreign countries.

Raids have been conducted on various suppliers, including Rajkot, Mundra, Kandla, and others, to uncover this fraud. Base oil was being imported under the guise of high-speed diesel (HSD). This oil is primarily used in the manufacturing of industrial and automotive products, as well as engine, transmission, gear oils, hydraulic oil, brake oil, repair oil, etc.
