The arrested are Santosh Parajuli, 28, a resident of Bidaha Rural Municipality-3 in Parbat and a resident of Bharatpur, Chitwan, and Parin Pandey, 22, of Bhimsen Thapa Rural Municipality-4 in Gorkha. They were arrested by a team of the Central Investigation Bureau (CIB) of the police from Chitwan.
The arrested are accused of committing an electronic crime by gaining unauthorized access to the integrated tax system of Bhatbhateni Supermarket.
The police have stated that they manipulated the transaction data of Bhatbhateni Supermarket by gaining access to the integrated tax system of the Inland Revenue Department.
According to the police, the arrested defendant Santosh Parajuli had increased the tax of Bhatbhateni Supermarket from Rs 62.694 crore to Rs 139.59 crore by accessing the integrated tax system of the Inland Revenue Office. .
The police have stated that it has been proven that the state’s official computer system was manipulated by changing information through unauthorized access to the Unified Tax System and inserting incorrect data.
The police have also stated that further investigation is underway in this incident.
This was the sequence of events
Bhatbhateni Supermarket had to pay Rs 62.694,019 of its revenue tax liability on a turnover of Rs 2.34 billion 16 million 42 thousand 816. But they manipulated that amount by accessing the system. They increased the tax liability by 139.59 million 609 rupees.
This tax liability was to be declared by 25th of February. Bhatbhateni employees tried to log in to their system. But at that time, the employees could not open it.
Then the employees reached the office under the Internal Revenue Department. After reaching there, they came to know about this incident.
When they reached there, they found out that the tax liability had already been entered when they tried to enter it. When they checked the entry, they found that 130 million had been entered instead of 60 million.
Thus, they immediately filed an application to change their tax liability, saying that they had not entered and that the transaction was shown to be more than the actual transaction.
The Internal Revenue Department had written a letter to the CIB on December 25, asking it to investigate the tax rate manipulation. After that, they were arrested. A laptop, CPU, WiFi router, DVR and mobile phone have been recovered from them.
