During this, more than 25 locations were searched in Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Vadodara, Bhuj, and Kolkata. These include the hideouts of middlemen and hawala operators.

 

The modus operandi of the entire forgery was exposed from the affidavits of various people recovered in the raids.

These people used to make profits in the stock market by misusing this information.

 

Although the fund manager's name is not available in the evidence found, sources have identified Viresh Joshi. Viresh Joshi and his family members have confessed in their statement that whatever undisclosed amount generated from such transactions was used to get into their bank accounts through shell companies based in Kolkata.

 

From these accounts, this amount was further deposited in the bank accounts of companies in India and other low-tax countries. The documents and data relating to large-scale unaccounted investments in cash loans, fixed deposits, immovable properties, and their renewals, etc. have been seized, the CBDT said.
