Meerut, December 19, 2024 : In a significant development, the Income Tax Department conducted a large-scale raid at the premises of Arihant Publications, one of Meerut’s most renowned publishing houses. The operation, which began early in the morning, targeted multiple locations, including the owner’s residence, the press, and the corporate office.
The raids were carried out at Arihant Publications’ mansion in the posh Saket area and extended to the company’s printing facilities and business headquarters.
