New Delhi

The Delhi Police's Economic Offences Wing (EOW) has uncovered a major Goods and Services Tax (GST) fraud syndicate allegedly involving shell companies, forged documents, and bogus invoicing worth over Rs 128 crore in the national capital.

According to investigators, six accused — Raj Kumar Dixit, Amar Kumar, Vibhash Kumar Mitra, Nitin Verma, Mohammad Waseem, and Abid — were arrested following coordinated raids across Delhi-NCR on May 15.

Police said the accused created fake firms and generated fraudulent GST invoices to claim wrongful Input Tax Credit (ITC) without any actual supply of goods or services. The probe began after a complaint linked to a shell company, RK Enterprises, allegedly created using a victim’s Aadhaar, PAN, electricity bill, and biometric data under the false promise of employment in the GST department.

Investigators found that the fake entity, established in September 2025, was used for transactions exceeding Rs 128 crore, with nearly Rs 10 crore in fraudulent ITC allegedly claimed.

The alleged kingpin, Raj Kumar Dixit, is said to have operated the syndicate from Daryaganj along with family members and associates, creating nearly 250 shell companies using forged or fraudulently obtained documents. Another key accused, Dilip Kumar, remains absconding.

So far, investigators have identified around 50 shell firms allegedly used for bogus billing, fake GST returns, accommodation entries, and routing cash through banking channels.

During searches, police recovered:

• Rs 51.12 lakh in cash
• 15 mobile phones
• Two laptops
• Multiple SIM cards
• Fake stamps and forged documents
• Large volumes of physical and digital fake invoices
• Two cars allegedly used in the operation
