He suspects that someone in a private bank in Nagpur – where he opened a current account some years back – might have used his documents to commit some fraud, which has landed him this massive tax trouble.“I used to deposit a maximum of Rs 200-300 daily in the bank some years back. The banking agent who took my documents for opening the account, also took my phone number to link the account with it. But the account was never linked to my phone number. Possibly that banking agent or someone else might be having the answers to the IT department notice,” he said.According to sources privy to the matter, transactions running into around Rs 3 lakh crores have taken place in the concerned account held by Kohad in the last few years.Interestingly, just a few days back, a roadside egg seller in Damoh district of MP’s Bundelkhand region, identified as Prince Suman, had received a notice asking to pay goods and services tax (GST) liability of Rs 6 crore.As per the notice, a company Prince Enterprises, which was registered in the egg seller’s name in Delhi, had amassed a turnover of Rs 50 crore between 2022 and 2024, but didn’t fulfil its tax obligations.Prince’s father Sridhar Suman who runs a small grocery shop in Damoh, has reportedly filed a complaint at the SP-Damoh office, seeking investigation in the entire matter.
