Gujarat-based journalist Mahesh Langa faces new allegations of duping a businessman out of Rs 28.68 lakh, deepening his existing legal challenges related to an alleged GST scam. This marks the third FIR against Langa, who also reportedly led a lavish lifestyle unsupported by his declared income.

A new cheating case has been registered against Gujarat-based journalist Mahesh Langa, accused of duping a businessman of Rs 28.68 lakh. Langa is already embroiled in a GST scam and faces mounting legal challenges with this being the third FIR against him since his arrest earlier this month.

Langa, previously employed at a leading Gujarati newspaper, was arrested following his involvement in an alleged GST fraud. His lavish lifestyle, inconsistent with his declared income, is under scrutiny following the recovery of unaccounted cash from his premises. Despite being in custody for these allegations, the journalist now faces fresh cheating allegations.

The case involves Langa's dealings with a businessman in the advertising sector, where he allegedly borrowed money while portraying himself as influential. The involvement of DA Enterprises and its manipulation of financial dealings has intensified investigations by the crime branch and the Enforcement Directorate as authorities delve deeper into the extent of Langa's activities.
