Dainik Bhaskar Evaded Tax Rs 700 crore In 6 Yrs, Says Income Tax

Following the raids at the different offices of the Dainik Bhaskar media group, the Income Tax Department alleged on July 24 that the group refused to pay tax worth Rs 700 crore in six-year so far. The department said the group used the employees' Id proofs to operate fake companies and ''for booking bogus expenses''. However, the group retaliated saying ''the government was scared of'' its critical journalism.
