How DRI arrested Top Industrialist for smuggling at IGI Airport

AIT News Network

NEW DELHI. Once the High Profile Industrialist boarded the flight from London’s Heathrow Airport for Delhi after claiming a huge amount of VAT on shopping done at London; he was a sitting duck as DRI was waiting for him at the arrival hall of IGI Airport.

Though it was a rude shock for Chairman of well-known Group of Industries to be arrested by DRI immediately after passing through Green Channel as he thought that he was not carrying any dutiable goods in his baggage and thus there was no need to pay any Customs duty on goods brought in the Baggage. But DRI was acting on a specific information and knew even the amount of VAT claimed by him at the time of his departure. When the value of goods at Hethrow Airport was over Rs 20 Lakh; how the value of goods can be within free allowance of Rs 25000/-; it was something which could not be digested by the sleuths of DRI who spoiled their whole night by waiting for the flight from London.

High Profile Industrialists owns 5 Industrial Units including a Maruti Joint Venture in Gurgaon besides owning 6 Industries in Faridabad, 1 in Greater NOIDA, 3 in Uttarakhand, 1 each in Kosi, Pune, Nashik and 4 Industrial Units in South India in all having 28 Plants at 11 locations and is a leader in sheet metal parts.

It is unfortunate for Industrialist to be arrested and remanded to judicial custody in Tihar Jail for 14 days. When another Industrialist Nanda was arrested by DRI on similar charges; he could get bail only from High Court after several days of custody.
