In a significant breakthrough, the Arunachal Pradesh Police arrested two chartered accountants from Darbhanga, Bihar, in connection with a massive Goods and Services Tax (GST) fraud case amounting to ₹100 crore. The fraud involved creating fake invoices and shell companies to evade GST payments.
The arrested accountants are suspected of masterminding the operation, which spanned multiple states and involved fraudulent transactions through fake entities. Authorities revealed that the suspects had allegedly funneled funds through illicit channels, and potential links to international entities, including Pakistan, are currently under investigation.
The case is being handled by a joint task force comprising Arunachal Pradesh Police and financial fraud experts. Officials emphasized that further arrests are likely as investigations uncover more details about the network of accomplices involved in this high-stakes crime.
This development underscores the growing issue of financial fraud and tax evasion in India. Law enforcement agencies continue to ramp up efforts to identify and dismantle such operations, safeguarding the integrity of the country’s financial systems.
