The raid also extended to the residence of Shahidul Islam alias Garo, a local businessman who is currently absconding. Shahidul Islam has been previously accused in a GST fraud case, raising suspicions of his involvement in the illegal coal trade.

Authorities are continuing their investigation, and further action is expected against those found violating GST norms.
