BHUTAN: India’s Customs Department uncovered a massive vehicle smuggling network through “Operation Numkhor,” revealing over 15,000 vehicles illegally registered across the country after evading taxes worth hundreds of crores. The investigation, which initially focused on a few luxury vehicles in Kerala, expanded nationwide through a digital audit of the Parivahan registry. Many vehicles were fraudulently registered in northeastern states using forged documents such as fake Army Disposal Certificates and false embassy import claims. Several vehicles have been seized, and the case has even implicated celebrities. Meanwhile, India and Bhutan are collaborating through a Joint Group of Customs meeting to strengthen measures and prevent such tax evasion and smuggling in the future.
Heavenly Father, we pray that truth will prevail in this situation. Expose all wrongdoing and bring justice to those affected. Let honesty and righteousness guide every investigation. Amen (The Holy Bible, Luke 8:17).
Lord we pray for those involved in wrongdoing. Touch their hearts so they may repent and turn toward what is right. Amen (The Holy Bible, 1 John 1:9).
