“It is not enough”: Experts require a transparent investigation in large -scale customs complaints in Wintrack Row

Ashwain Mahish, an expert in urban policy and suspended in public affairs, said that the government’s decision to request a “fair and transparent” investigation into a conflict between the Ministry of Customs in Chennai Winsak, a shipping company based in Chennai, is insufficient, stressing that the case exceeds one complaint.

Mahish’s comments come after the government directed an investigation into allegations of corruption raised by the logistical services company that recently announced its exit from India, noting the harassment by customs. “The number of people who complain of their experiences is high, full of blackmail and simple bureaucracy,” Mahish said in a post on X (previously Twitter).

He said that instead of investigating isolated accidents, what is required is a “complete and transparent” review of the routine interactions that citizens and companies with the customs department.

According to him, the approach of each case separately risk the regular issues of corruption and the red tape that undermines trade and erodes confidence in government institutions.

Wintrack Inc, an import company, has announced its closure on October 1, claiming to harass and bribe by customs Chennai. Its founder, Prawin Ganeshan, claimed that the shipments were late until the bribes were paid.

The ministry said that the government had taken awareness, and the Revenue Administration went to ensure a fair, transparent and factory investigation. The ministry said: “A senior Dor officer has been discharged to conduct a detailed realistic investigation, hear the parties concerned, and officials, and to examine all relevant documentary evidence.”

I also mentioned that the matter is dealt with the utmost risk, and the government is committed to taking appropriate and rapid measures in accordance with the law.

However, the Central Council for Innight Taxes and Customs (CBIC) explained that the issue relates to bad commodities and poor classification by the importer, ensuring the examination of all facts and work.

“All facts will be examined as necessary. The necessary measures will be taken, as justified under the law,” CBIC has been tweet.
