    The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has launched a major crackdown in connection with a bogus GST refund scam amounting to nearly Rs 100 crore, allegedly executed through fake export bills. The case, registered against the then Additional Commissioner of Customs, Patna, Ranvijay Kumar, and 29 others, involves several senior customs officials and private individuals.

    On Friday, the CBI carried out coordinated searches across seven locations in Bihar and Jharkhand-two each in Patna and Purnea, and one each in Jamshedpur, Nalanda, and Munger.

    During the raids, officials recovered seven gold bars weighing 100 grams each, several incriminating documents, and mobile phones linked to the case.

    According to the FIR, the scam involves the fraudulent processing of GST refund claims using forged export documents. The named accused include Ranvijay Kumar, then Additional Commissioner of Customs in Patna; Tarun Kumar Sinha, then Superintendent, Customs, LCS Bhimnagar; Rajeev Ranjan Sinha, then Superintendent, Customs, LCS Bhimnagar; Neeraj Kumar and Manmohan Sharma, both then Superintendents at Customs, LCS Jaynagar and currently serving as Assistant Commissioners; and Ganga Singh, a G-Card holder.
