Kanpur. Perfume businessman Piyush Jain has been arrested in Kanpur. He was detained in the early hours of Friday and kept at the GST office in Sarvodaya Nagar here. About 104 hours have been completed till Sunday night in the investigation of the team of Directorate General of GST Intelligence, Ahmedabad. After his residence in Anandpuri, Kanpur, a cache of notes is also being found in his ancestral houses in Kannauj. There is information about getting 23 crore more till noon. In this way the seizure in Kannauj has gone up to Rs 103 crore. At the same time, 280 crores have been recovered so far including Kanpur’s 177 crores. However, it is not officially confirmed. Both the sons of the businessman are also in custody. The figures of this biggest cash seizure in the history of the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) will increase further.
Notes used to be brought in the car: Carts worth Rs 177 crore were not collected in the house of Piyush Jain. Packets of notes were brought by car in the dark of night in cardboard cartoons. The car was normally kept outside the gate, but whenever bundles of notes were brought, it was taken straight inside and the gate was closed. Now people around are guessing only from these ways of parking the car. The triplex house, despite having a swimming pool on top of it, Piyush Jain never used to invite anyone inside the house.
Vehicles were often seen late at night by neighbors: In the Pasha area like Anandpuri, illegal activities were often done in the dark of night. According to the local people, those who strolled till late in the night were often seen disembarking cartoons from the car at Piyush Jain’s house. These cards were so big that they could fit in the trunk of the car. The people of the locality thought that some goods of their business must have come, but never saw such big cardboard going back out. That’s why now people feel that bundles of notes must have been coming in them.
Hiding behind the simplicity was the Kubera of black money: Piyush Jain’s house has a park right in front of it and there are houses on all sides. Some people say that normally Piyush Jain used to come and get down outside the house in his car. The car was normally allowed to be parked on the road outside the gate. In an area like Anandapuri, almost all the people’s cars are parked on the road outside the house at night, because everyone is completely confident about the safety due to the security of the entire premises. According to the regional citizens, the reason for not being friendly with the people of Piyush Jain is now understood by everyone. It is clear that the person who would have kept Rs 177 crore in his house, he would not want anyone to come to his house.
