The fake 'Toll Plaza'..! Cheated commuters for 1.5 years..!?

The various scams that come to know when you look at the paper in the morning or turn on the tv and watch the news make the public sweat. It is shocking when you have to see scams in many different colors every day. It's like the room is really the only plan! The central government has set up toll booths on national highways in the country and collects tolls from vehicles. These toll booths are auctioned to private individuals who employ the staff and collect the tax.
Every day tens of thousands of crores of rupees are collected as customs duty across the country. In this situation, a toll gate has been functioning for the last one and a half years on the Bamanpur-Kutch National Highway in Gujarat. The toll plaza is located on privately owned land in Gujarat's Morbi district. They have built this by bypassing the highway. At this toll plaza, only 50 percent of the fare has been charged. Not only the public, but traders, transport company buses, private buses, and government vehicles passed through it. Customs duty has also been collected here from police vehicles. Regarding this, Morbi district Collector GD Pandya said, "We have received information that vehicles are being diverted from the right track on the Vargasia Toll Plaza route to another road. Customs duty has been collected from such vehicles. After this, the truth was revealed when the police checked there.
 He said that a complaint had been registered. The original toll plaza manager who is authorized about this said that the surrounding landowners have been deceiving motorists and collecting toll tax for the past one and a half years. But a party says that motorists came because they wanted to pay half the fare if they go on this route than the original route. The fake toll plaza was built on land owned by the white house Ceramic Company with access to the road. The police have registered a case against Amarshi Patel, owner of white house Ceramic Factory, along with Vanraj Singh Jhala, Harvijay Singh Jhala, dharmendra Singh Jhala, yuvraj singh Jhala and others. The fake toll plaza incident comes months after a man was recently arrested in gujarat state for running a fake government office for nearly three years and defrauding government funds of over Rs 4 crore.
