FAQ :
The dhaba cook, Ravindra Singh Chauhan, received an income tax notice for Rs 46 crore, which is approximately £46 million.
The scam began in 2017-18 when Ravindra's supervisor allegedly persuaded him and colleagues to open bank accounts in Delhi with promises of PF withdrawals and incentives.
The Delhi-based bank account opened in Ravindra's name was allegedly used to route crores of rupees through a firm called Shaurya Trading Company.
Ravindra has quit his job and is struggling to prove his innocence, facing difficulties with police and tax authorities due to jurisdiction issues and his lack of education.
