Delhi Police Arrest Six in Rs 128 Crore Fake GST Invoice Racket

The Delhi Police Economic Offences Wing (EOW) has arrested six individuals linked to a fake GST invoicing racket involving transactions worth nearly Rs 128 crore. The accused allegedly created shell companies and fake firms, including a proprietorship named M/s RK Enterprises, using forged documents and misused identity credentials of an unsuspecting individual. Fraudulent Input Tax Credit claims of around Rs 10 crore were availed. Investigations identified key conspirators, including Raj Kumar Dixit and Dilip Kumar, the latter still at large, who orchestrated the creation of numerous shell companies for bogus billing and fake GST transactions.
