Gujarat police say they have uncovered an alleged tax-evasion scheme involving the Bharatiya National Janata Dal, linked to purported political donations. NDTV reports that investigators claim the party collected large sums through “fake donations” sourced from thousands of taxpayers.

According to the investigative findings cited, the alleged donations exceed Rs 1,143 crore and are said to involve more than 56,000 taxpayers. The period covered by the investigation spans the financial years 2019-20 to 2024-25. NDTV frames the case as part of a tax-related investigation tied to political funding mechanisms.

Across the available reporting, the core details are the same: police allege the donations are not genuine and that the scheme enabled evasion connected to tax compliance. No other outlet-specific angles or additional investigative findings are provided in the supplied materials.
