Mumbai, Jun 28 (PTI) Three more stock brokers have been arrested here for alleged involvement in illegal trading of shares, also called `dabba trading,’ Mumbai Police said on Wednesday.
They allegedly used to get commission from the main accused in the case — who has been already arrested — for bringing investors, an official said.
Unit 11 of the Mumbai crime branch, which is probing the case, made the latest arrests from suburban Kandivali, Dahisar and Borivali areas on Tuesday evening, he added. `Dabba trading’ denotes illegal share trading outside the purview of recognized stock exchanges.
Police had arrested the kingpin of the racket, a 43-year-old man, on June 20.
His turnover during the period between March 23 to June 20, 2023, was a whopping Rs 4,672 crore, the police official said.
He is accused of cheating the government of more than Rs 1.95 crore by not paying various taxes such as the security transaction tax, capital gains tax, stamp duty, SEBI turnover fees and stock exchange turnover revenue. PTI DC KRK
