Based on the evidence we got, we arrested Langa."The complaint was filed by Jay Prakash Singh, superintendent of CGST's anti-evasion wing in Rajkot against a total of 29 accused, out of whom 12 were arrested earlier.The complaint stated that Parmar Vishalbhai Pravinbhai registered a firm named Parmar Enterprise with GST using a rent agreement, which was later found to be forged.
