Fake firm defrauds government of Rs 20 crore in GST fraud: Delhi Police
A fraudulent company illegally obtained Rs 20 crore in GST rebates from Government of India, said the Delhi police after registering a First Information Report (FIR) on July 5. The company, Prince International, in Delhi’s Wazirpur allegedly used the name of a farmer from Haryana and obtained his signatures on company account documents by promising him a loan and a credit card.
In his complaint, the farmer, Naresh Singh, 57, a resident of Kharghar village in Bahadurgarh, said his bank account was opened with the Central Bank of India in Narela. In August 2018, he needed some money for his son’s wedding. He requested one Jasbir, who Naresh sold his produce in the Saanpla mandi, for the same. According to the complaint, Jasbir introduced Naresh to two men, Naveen and Kailash, for the money.
Jasbir, Naveen, and Kailash made Naresh sign some documents to get him money and a Kissan credit card. In September 2019, however, Shiv Kumar, a labourer in farmlands, told Naresh that an account had been opened in his name at the Central Bank of India, Narela.
