Two, including lawyer, arrested for running fake GST companies
New Delhi: Two men, including an advocate, were arrested for allegedly running a racket involving bogus GST firms and issuing fake bills to facilitate fraudulent GST settlements. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now According to police, the scam came to light when a resident of Sagarpur filed a complaint at the South West Delhi's cyber police station. "The complainant alleged that while applying for a GST registration using his PAN card, he discovered that two GST numbers had already been issued in his name without his knowledge or consent. These GST numbers were being used to operate different trading firms, and a SIM card had also been issued using his Aadhaar card. The complainant claimed that the firms were conducting high-value transactions, causing significant reputational and financial damage to him," DCP (South West) Amit Goel said. A case was registered, and an investigation was initiated. With these leads, a police team mounted technical surveillance and examined credentials linked to the fraudulent GST accounts. "Based on location tracking, raids were conducted in Panipat and adjoining areas of NCR, leading to the arrest of the first accused. During his interrogation, he revealed that he worked under an advocate based in Burari," the DCP added. Based on this, the police team traced the advocate, who had absconded to Kairana in Uttar Pradesh after learning about his associate's arrest. He was eventually tracked and arrested. "During the probe, cops found that genuine documents such as PAN cards, Aadhaar cards, rent agreements, SIMs, and email IDs were being misused to create fake GST firms. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now These firms were then used to issue fraudulent bills for GST settlements. The accused would obtain firm details from associates in Delhi, who sold them the login credentials and supporting SIM cards for Rs 25,000–Rs 30,000 per firm," a senior police officer said. "Once in control of these credentials, the duo would update the mobile numbers and email addresses linked to the GST accounts and begin operating them. Using software, they generated and uploaded fake invoices to the GST portal." One of the arrested men is a 27-year-old from Panipat, Haryana, who studied up to Class 12 and worked with an advocate for seven years. He primarily handled the technical aspects, logging into the bogus GST accounts, changing credentials, and preparing the fake bills. His associate, a 45-year-old advocate from Burari, arranged the procurement of GST firms through hisnetwork and oversaw their operation.

Factory making fake diesel from chemicals smuggled via Gujarat's Kandla Port busted
Jaipur: Bikaner police Saturday unearthed a large-scale interstate operation involving the transportation and mixing of industrial chemicals with diesel, using bogus companies and forged documents to avoid detection. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The smuggling network, which operated from Kandla port in Gujarat, diverted tankers to a hidden factory running behind a hotel in Bikaner's Pallu area. Police officials said that the network was involved in transporting at least 25 tankers of fake diesel, each containing 35,000 litres, and pushing it into the market. Three men were arrested, including a resident of the Rainwal area in Jaipur district. Bikaner range IG Om Prakash said the accused were using fake firms like Nav Nath Chemical and Oil to prepare transport documents. Though the bills of supply falsely listed Hisar as the destination, the chemical-laden tankers were instead rerouted to the illicit facility concealed behind Mahadeo Hotel, which served as a front for a factory where chemicals were mixed with diesel to prepare diluted and illegal fuel. Police raided the location and seized 4 lakh litres of the adulterated fuel, along with one chemical tanker, pick-up vehicles, and a cash amount of Rs 3.55 lakh. The operation was found to be highly organised, with forged documents pointing to widespread distribution of the fake fuel across multiple states. The accused include tanker driver Banwari Lal, a resident of Rainwal in Jaipur, factory owner Netram, 26, from Rajiasar in Sriganganagar, and Pradeep, 43, from Hanumangarh. Investigators believe the gang was operating on a massive scale, transporting at least 25 tankers every month, each carrying around 35,000 litres of chemicals. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now This points to a monthly smuggling volume of nearly 8.75 lakh litres of chemical used for fuel adulteration. Police suspect the racket could be linked to a recent major fire at a house in Sawalsar village, Rajiasar area. The fire was reportedly caused by an inflammable substance, and the connection to the smuggling ring is now under investigation. The IG warned that such fake and diluted diesel is being circulated widely and poses serious risks. He urged the public to purchase fuel only from authorised dealers and pumps to avoid potential hazards.

Singapore trip: Travel agent accused of fraud tries to end life as cops serve notice
Bengaluru: A travel agent, accused of duping a group of gram panchayat members of over Rs 19 lakh by promising to arrange their trip to Singapore, allegedly attempted to end his life when police officers went to serve him notice. The group had lodged a cheating case with police on June 5 stating they were stranded in Singapore as Manohar, the proprietor of 99 Tours, had not kept his promise of making the travel arrangement despite collecting the money. Manohar's alleged suicide attempt occurred on June 15, after head constable Praveen V of Magadi Road police station tried to deliver a summons to his office at Invenu Global Gateway, located near Bashyam Circle, Rajajinagar. According to a complaint filed with Basaveshwaranagar police, Praveen first visited Manohar's office but found it locked. He then proceeded to Manohar's home at Kirloskar Colony. On being handed the notice, Manohar allegedly refused to accept it, verbally abused the constable, and threatened him saying he would get the officer fired from his job. Following this, Praveen alerted his senior officers. A police sub-inspector and assistant sub-inspector Kumar KR arrived at the spot. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Manohar once again refused to cooperate and allegedly threatened the officers. In the presence of police, he consumed a bottle of floor cleaner, claiming he would kill himself. He was rushed to a nearby hospital from where he was discharged on the same day. Based on the constable's complaint, Basaveshwaranagar police registered a fresh FIR under the BNS Sections 226 (attempt to commit suicide to compel or restrain exercise of lawful power) and 351 (criminal intimidation). The original cheating case against Manohar had been filed by Rahul Gowda, president of the Yentaganahalli gram panchayat. Gowda alleged that Manohar collected Rs 24.3 lakh from 28 individuals, including panchayat members and their families, for a six-night, seven-day tour to Singapore and Malaysia. Each person was charged Rs 86,750, which was paid between March and April. Initially, Manohar said the trip was scheduled for April 16, but later postponed it to May 8, citing unspecified problems. When the group arrived at Kempegowda International Airport on the new date, Manohar backed out, telling them his associates would receive them in Singapore. However, no arrangements had been made, and no one turned up to receive them. The group was left stranded in Singapore and had to make their own arrangements by paying extra through another contact. Upon their return, Gowda and others lodged a complaint alleging that Manohar had cheated them of Rs 19.2 lakh — the extra amount they had to spend during their trip. In his defence, Manohar told TOI flight charges had increased unexpectedly, and he had no intention of cheating anyone. He said he was seeking time to return the money. "My friend is responsible for the allegations against me. I will be filing a complaint against him," he said. The attempt to evade legal action by consuming poison has now placed Manohar under legal scrutiny for a second offence.
