Gujarat Police File FIRs Against Three Parties Over Alleged Rs 560 Crore Donation Scam
Gujarat Police have registered three FIRs against unrecognised political parties—Garib Kalyan Party, Swatantra Abhivyakti Party, and Bharatiya National Janata Dal—for allegedly receiving large donations without political activity and routing funds back to donors after deducting commissions. The Income Tax department alleges these parties facilitated bogus donations totaling nearly Rs 1,870 crore, causing a tax loss of approximately Rs 560-600 crore. Investigations cite fake bills, shell companies, and forged documents as part of the scheme, with a fourth FIR expected soon.
