Hyderabad’Nov 13 (PMI) The Cyberabad Police’s Economic Offences Wing (EOW) has cracked down on a massive interstate GST fraud syndicate, arresting two individuals and exposing fake Input Tax Credit (ITC) claims worth ₹11.79 crore.
The arrested accused have been identified as Sohil Muradali Lakhani alias Sonu (34) from Gujarat and Mohd Akram Hasnuddin (43) from Hyderabad. The mastermind Abdullah, along with Syed Mujtaba Hussaini alias Azam and Ayiti Raja Shekar, remains absconding.
According to EOW officials, the gang floated over 10 bogus GST-registered firms using forged Aadhaar cards, PAN cards, rental agreements, and electricity bills to create fake invoices and claim fraudulent ITC. The scam led to a loss of over ₹11.79 crore to the government.
Investigations revealed the syndicate operated across eight States — Telangana, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Haryana, Odisha, Chhattisgarh, Karnataka, and Gujarat. The accused reportedly set up 52 fake firms, generated 405 fake e-way bills, and manipulated the GST portal using SIM cards obtained under fake identities.
Police have launched a hunt for the absconding accused and are coordinating with multiple state agencies to trace the financial trail.(pressmediaofindia.com)
