Hyderabad Biryani Tax Evasion Probe
Investigators conducted coordinated searches at restaurant locations and associated premises, examining account books, digital records and transaction trails. Officials said discrepancies were found between declared income and actual business turnover, indicating underreporting of revenue.
Multi City Financial Network Findings
The probe reportedly traced connections beyond Hyderabad, linking suppliers, franchise operators and shell entities in different states. Authorities suspect the use of layered billing and cash handling practices to conceal profits and reduce tax liability. Financial records are being analysed to determine the total scale of evasion.
