Deputy superintendent of police Handibag had committed suicide earlier this month after a kidnaping case was registered against him in Belagavi. On Monday, the family members of Handibag, including his parents, wife, and siblings met Chief Minister Siddaramaiah in Bengaluru.

They told the chief minister that Handibag was innocent and he was falsely trapped in a kidnaping case by the gambling mafia for targeting them. They sought action against those responsible for Handibag's suicide.

Devarahippargi MLA?A?S?Patil (Nadahalli), who had arranged the meeting of Handibag's family with Siddaramaiah, said 60 legislators had signed a petition seeking a government job for the late police officer's wife. Vidya has passed her SSLC and has a one-year-old child.

Congress MLA?S?T?Somashekar said he would provide a job to Handibag's sister in a cooperative institution. Somashekar has worked in the cooperative sector and headed the Karnataka State Cooperative Housing Federation.

Later in the day, Handibag's father Basappa was admitted to M?S?Ramaiah?Hospital for treatment of partial paralysis.

Court quashes suspects' bail pleas

A local court on Monday quashed the bail pleas of two suspects in the Handibag suicide case.

VHP activist Khandya Praveen, the prime suspect in the case who is evading arrest, had applied for anticipatory bail, while another suspect Kalmane Nataraj, who has been already arrested by the CID, had filed a regular bail application.

According to sources, the advocates representing the duo are preparing to move the High Court for bail.

Abhiram and Joy Milton, who have been arrested in the case, were remanded in judicial custody.

Bengaluru, Jun 26: Karnataka's Commercial Taxes Department has sealed off an undeclared warehouse with imported goods worth Rs 4 crore in Bengaluru and found 60 GST registrations linked to a Chinese national from Wuhan.

The tax department officials found 25,446 China-made electronic and fast-moving consumer goods worth Rs 4 crore stored in the warehouse which was not declared to the tax authorities.

Commissioner of Commercial Taxes MS Srikar said in a statement that the officers noticed that one person from Wuhan City, China, got the premises in Bengaluru on lease.

They also found that about 60 registrations (both central and state jurisdictions) under the GST Act, in the name of a number of persons for online trading of imported China-made goods, had a single address which was vacant.

Most of the registrations were found irregular in the filing of returns and payment of tax. Majority of the firms either filed nil returns or were non-filers. The registration data showed that one business was registered in 2017-18, 43 in 2018-19, 14 in 2019-20 and two in 2020-21. Most of the 60 firms were private limited companies and 24 persons were interchangeably directors in 58 firms.

At the time of raid, neither the lessee, the Chinese national, nor any of the other 59 registered taxable persons were available at the business premises and no one came forward to participate in the proceedings in spite of providing sufficient time.

It is learnt that the Chinese national is operating the business from Wuhan City since January 2020 with the assistance of some of his agents/employees in Bengaluru.

It has also been learnt that multiple registrations are being taken for a better rating on e-commerce platforms, Srikar said.

The raids were led by Nitesh K Patil, Additional Commissioner, Enforcement, South Zone.
The Commercial Taxes Department is closely watching the genuineness of newly registered persons and conducting post-registration verification visits.

Any registration taken with mala fide intention of evading taxes will be dealt with seriously, the Commissioner said.
