A roadside washerman from Ajmer has been served an income tax notice for transactions worth over Rs 598 crore. The case has raised serious concerns about financial fraud and misuse of personal documents. The Income Tax Department has issued a show-cause notice to Jitendra Kumar, a washerman from the Ramganj area in Ajmer, seeking an explanation for massive bank transactions reportedly carried out in his name. According to officials, the transactions, amounting to more than Rs 598 crore, are linked to large-scale buying and selling of diamonds.
Washerman Denies Knowledge of Bank Account
As reported by The Times of India, Kumar has denied any knowledge of the bank account mentioned in the notice. “Since the past few days, I have only been doing rounds of police stations and lawyers. I am perturbed and unable to work,” he said, expressing distress over the situation. Kumar, who earns a modest living washing and ironing clothes, claims he has never handled such large sums of money and is completely unaware of the transactions.
PAN Card Misuse Suspected in Ajmer Financial Fraud Case
Kumar revealed that he had lost his PAN card nearly two years ago while attending a function in Pali. Authorities suspect that the missing document may have been misused to open or operate the bank account in question. The case highlights growing concerns around PAN card fraud and identity theft in financial transactions.
Legal Action Filed in Ajmer Over Fraudulent Bank Account
Kumar’s advocate, Rakesh Thada, confirmed that a formal complaint has been lodged against the bank and unknown individuals allegedly operating the account. “The IT department issued a show-cause notice regarding transactions of over Rs 598 crore. We have filed a complaint so that things become clear,” Thada said, as quoted by TOI.
He further alleged that the account may have been operated by “some businessman in Pali” with links to a Surat-based diamond firm.
Police Investigation Underway in Ajmer Diamond Transactions Case
Police officials have acknowledged receiving the complaint and confirmed that an investigation is currently underway. Authorities are now working to trace the origin of the transactions and identify those responsible. The Income Tax Department has also issued a notice to the manager of the private bank where the account is reportedly held, seeking clarification on how such high-value transactions were processed.
