And a search of the premises at Tri Nagar resulted in the owners statement that these low quality leather belts and wallets were sold by him to the accused in cash, without issuing any invoices and further that the actual value of these goods sold were Rs. 14 lakhs , instead of Rs.23.21 crores as was wrongly claimed by those 14 firms.

Muradabard SEZ ,wherein the accused is a Director, had claimed to receive supply of hand crafted artificial leather wallet and scarfs made of manmade fiber and wooden handicrafts articles amounting o Rs.35,30,14,644/- from 06 firms during 2020- 2021 and that the said 6 firms had major supply from same firms which were part of supply of chain 20 fake/nonexistent firms that were created on paper for getting export related benefit.
However, vide an order of the CMM, PRC, NDD, the accused was granted bail subject to the condition that the accused shall always share his location with the IO by dropping his google pin on the google map , and that he shall join the investigation as and when directed by the Investigating Agency, etc. Further it was mentioned in the order that for the breach of any of the aforesaid conditions by him, the department may approach the court for cancellation of bail.
