Kochi: The commercial tax department on Saturday morning seized 9.5 kg of gold ornaments worth Rs 3 crore from a car parked at Cochin International Airport at Nedumbassery on the charge of evading sales tax. The ornaments were packed in 11consignments and addressed to various persons associated with the Joy Alukkas Jewellery group. But the group has strongly rebutted any hanky-panky.
The consignments, which arrived in a flight from Haryana, were seized after the intelligence wing of the commercial tax department received a tip-off about the attempt to transport the ornaments without paying sales tax.
