Toll Plaza Fraud: The fraudulent toll plaza was established on private land, bypassing the national highway, and it charged commuters half the usual toll fee. This scheme deceived not only the public but also the police and top government officials in the district.
The operation was based on land owned by the White House Ceramic Company, a closed factory, and the Varghasia village. The scheme involved redirecting traffic from the actual route of the Varghasia toll plaza, an authorized toll collection point on the national highway, to the fraudulent toll plaza. The police registered a complaint against Amarshi Patel, the owner of White House Ceramic Company, and several others involved in this operation.
This incident highlights a significant case of fraud and deception, where influential individuals in the area were able to operate an illegal toll collection scheme, extorting money from unsuspecting truck drivers and others for a substantial period before being discovered by authorities.
