A local court has dismissed the bail applications of two scrap brokers of Punjab, Parvesh Joshi and Narinder Kumar Joshi, who were arrested for an alleged Rs 350-crore GST fraud.

A complaint was filed by the Directorate General of Goods and Services Tax (Intelligence) under Section 132 of Central Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017.

According to the complaint, during the search of the offices of the accused in Mandi Gobindgarh, the GST Directorate found notebooks and diaries.

It was observed that Parvesh, nephew of Narinder Joshi, and others were allegedly involved in the operation of 63 fake/bogus firms and were providing invoices without supplying goods.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
