Delhi Police have arrested two men, including a practicing advocate and his 27-year-old associate.
The firms were created using stolen identity documents like PAN and Aadhaar cards. They were then used to upload counterfeit invoices on the GST portal to make illegal tax claims.
The duo procured identity documents, rent agreements, SIM cards, and email addresses to set up the fake entities. Credentials for these firms were reportedly sold by local associates for Rs 25,000 to Rs 30,000 each.
The advocate, described as the mastermind, allegedly handled the procurement of fake firms and legal documentation through his professional network.
A resident of Sagarpur filed a complaint after discovering two GST registrations had been issued in his name without his knowledge, causing him financial and reputational damage.
Police are investigating to identify more individuals involved in the scam and to determine the full extent of tax evasion. They are also looking into the misuse of personal documents and data security.
