LAHORE: The Special Court of Customs Taxation and Anti-Smuggling has extended the physical remand of accused Amjad Amin who is involved in tax evasion of almost Rs 500 million.
Well-informed sources told Customs Today that the accused had been importing containers from China from quite some time. After passage of a considerable period, the customs authorities received credible information that the accused was also involved in mis-declaration of goods. They said that the accused was not declaring the actual amount of the imported goods. When customs authorities scrutinised his documents, they found a fraud of Rs 500 million in the form of tax and duty evasion.
Ajmal Amin is a resident of Lahore and a well-known importer. He has been engaged in the import business for quite some time.
Now, Special Court Judge Nazeer Ahmed Gajana has extended the remand of the accused for another two days. The customs authorities told the court that they needed more time to interrogate the accused to extract more information from him.
