Indore IT Raid Storm: BR Goyal Infrastructure’s Sapna-Sangita Office Sealed in Massive Tax Evasion, Hawala Probe

Indore — The Income Tax Department conducted a massive, coordinated pre-dawn raid on BR Goyal Infrastructure Limited, focusing on its Sapna-Sangita Road office, director residences, and suspected hawala networks across the city. Over 20 IT squads, supported by heavy police deployment, are scrutinizing financial records, digital devices, and ledgers for evidence of tax evasion, benami assets, and black money routing.

Dawn Raid Blitz

The operation targeted multiple locations, including:

• BR Goyal’s main office (Sapna-Sangita Road)
• Bicholi Hapsi construction sites
• Residence of chairman Bridge Kishore Goyal

Focus areas include high-value highway tenders, RMC (Ready Mix Concrete) operations, real estate projects like BRG Hill View, and cross-state toll collections. Hawala operators allegedly facilitating tender commissions and black money transfers were also under the scanner.

Digital Forensics and Ledger Seizures

IT teams deployed laptop imaging units, mobile forensic vans, and server seizure squads to extract:

• Contract payment ledgers (NHAI, PWD, toll plazas)
• Sub-contractor hawala settlements
• Benami property records
• Shell company transaction trails
• Foreign remittance patterns

Sources report over 5,000 pages of documents seized, with bulk cash detection underway. Chairman Bridge Kishore Goyal and key accounts personnel have been detained for questioning under IT Act survey provisions.

Hawala-Tender Nexus Under Investigation

The probe focuses on alleged tender manipulation, including:

• Commission kickbacks via hawala to officials
• Benami firms claiming sub-contracts
• RMC over-invoicing and ghost suppliers
• Toll plaza revenue siphoning

BR Goyal Infrastructure recently secured a ₹86.7 crore NHAI toll plaza project (Jan 12, 2026), now under scrutiny for potential financial irregularities.

Industry Implications

The raids have sent shockwaves across MP’s infrastructure corridor:

• Contractors revising compliance audits
• RMC suppliers preparing for supply chain investigations
• Toll operators enhancing digital audit trails
• Real estate firms disclosing benami holdings

Officials indicate that the crackdown forms part of the IT Department’s aggressive 2026 mandate targeting large-scale tax evasion, hawala networks, and undeclared offshore accounts.
