Dandotiya lodged a complaint asserting that his PAN details were misused to operate a company that engaged in transactions totaling over Rs 40 crore. The discovery was made subsequent to his receipt of an IT notice.
"Upon investigation, further actions will be taken," stated the additional SP, urging Dandotiya to resubmit the complaint with accompanying documents and notices.
Dandotiya, addressing reporters on Friday, disclosed being a postgraduate student at Jiwaji University and receiving an IT notice on January 27 concerning transactions amounting to Rs 46 crore. Upon contacting the Income Tax and GST departments, he uncovered a firm registered under his name in Delhi and Pune, responsible for the transactions in question.
Following Dandotiya's clarification to IT officials that he had not initiated such a company, he was advised to file a police report, he recounted.
