CGST Delhi West has busted a nexus of more than 30 fake firms and arrested a key individual involved in obtaining fake GST registrations.
The firms were identified through data analytics and physical verification. It was discovered that multiple entities were registered at the same address, but the premise owner denied knowledge of their existence, and no goods were moved from there.
