NEW DELHI: Trading company Wintrack Inc has levelled serious allegations of corruption and harassment against customs officials in Chennai and announced that it is halting exports and imports from the country, prompting the revenue department to initiate a probe by a senior official. In an eight-minute video posted on X on Thursday, the company’s CEO, Prawin Ganeshan, who described himself as a first-generation entrepreneur sourcing goods from China, has enumerated a series of events starting in Jan, when he first raised a red flag over a bribery demand of Rs 8 lakh from customs officials for a $1,300 package. He alleged an official from Delhi faceless assessment unit had made the demand, but the issue was resolved after he raised it on X. The posts were deleted subsequently, he said.
