Gujarat Police File FIRs Against Three Parties Over Rs 560 Crore Political Donation Scam
Gujarat Police have registered FIRs against three registered unrecognised political parties—Bharatiya National Janata Dal, Swatantrata Abhivyakti Party, and Garib Kalyan Party—and several associated individuals for allegedly receiving bogus political donations totaling nearly Rs 1,870 crore. The parties reportedly routed the funds back to donors after deducting commissions, enabling donors to claim tax deductions and causing an estimated Rs 560-600 crore loss to the government. Investigations cite forged documents and fake expenditure claims, with charges including cheating and criminal conspiracy.
