Jaipur : A young man preparing for a government job in Jaipur, Rajasthan, along with his accomplices has committed a fraud of more than 150 crores. The accused formed three fake companies to become rich quickly and evaded tax worth crores of rupees in the name of GST refund. In this case, two accused have been arrested by the GST Intelligence Directorate. It is being told that this case of tax evasion can reach up to 1000 crores.
3 companies formed with fake documents
The Directorate General of GST Intelligence has made a big disclosure regarding GST theft in Rajasthan. The accused formed three companies in Rajasthan with fake documents and then prepared fake bills through these companies and evaded tax worth Rs 166 crore in the name of input tax credit and GST refund within one and a half years.
26 year old young man turned out to be the mastermind
The mastermind of this tax fraud is 26-year-old Virendra alias Kalpesh Kumar, a resident of Rajasthan. He carried out this entire fraud along with his two associates Krishna Kumar and Dinesh. Even the entire money transaction was done from Virendra’s own account. This fraud can reach up to 1 thousand crores.
The young man was preparing for a government job
Mastermind Virendra’s house is in Murtala village in the rural area of Barmer. Father Hemaram himself has taken a tractor on loan and runs it to run the family. Virendra was preparing for government exams while staying in Jaipur and used to take money for preparation from home. However, after the fraud came to light, Virendra and one of his associates Dinesh Kumar have been caught by the GST Intelligence Directorate, but the third associate is still absconding.
Three companies were formed in Maharashtra
Officials associated with the Directorate say that currently a campaign is going on against companies that evade taxes. Under this, it was revealed that three companies work in Pune, Maharashtra but their offices are in other states. When the team went to investigate at the addresses of these companies, no office was found there.
Fake names of closed companies
Meanwhile, a big input came to light that transactions worth crores of rupees are being done in the name of about 54 companies which have been closed earlier. When the team searched the records, the officers themselves were surprised. They saw that money transactions have been done across the country from a single account. Currently, the Intelligence Directorate is interrogating Virendra and his partner.
