Finally the investigative agencies have grown balls to detain and question one of the biggest tax defaulters Hasan Ali. He is believed to owe the Indian tax department Rs 40,000 crore in tax defaults. This amount is higher than the annual budget of two thirds of Indian state governments.
With this huge amount at his disposal, the person is believed to be funding or the front man for a big regional party and a bigger regional politician.....who once had an ambition of becoming the Prime Minister of this country.
The government's act may have come too little too late and after a dressing down by the Supreme Court as the money he is believed to have been holding may have been moved around to its "rightful owners". When will the government try to really come out and book criminals who try and steal the rightful money of this country's citizens. It doesn't seem to happen in the near future.
PS. While the government was busy trying to detain the alleged tax swindler a friend of mine is worried over a recent income tax department notice that has asked him to pay Rs 1500 as last year's remainder of taxes.
This once again goes on to show that in Indian justice system and government institutions act against small fry and let the big fish get away.
