A multi-crore GST evasion racket involving fake firms and fraudulent invoicing in the brick trade has been uncovered.

Two individuals, Danish and Zeeshan, have been arrested in connection with the scam.

The accused created bogus firms and used over 2,000 trucks to transport bricks, generating fake invoices of under Rs 50,000 to avoid paying GST at three levels: production, transportation, and delivery.

Bricks were transported from local kilns to various destinations in Uttarakhand, including Kashipur.

Officials are tracing digital trails and financial records to identify additional accomplices and quantify the total tax evaded, coordinating with GST intelligence teams.
