The Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of Delhi Police has successfully dismantled a significant fake GST invoice racket, arresting six individuals involved in fraudulent activities that amounted to approximately ₹128 crore. The arrests followed an investigation initiated in March after a complaint regarding the misuse of personal identification documents to create a shell company without consent. The operation was led by Raj Kumar Dixit, who is believed to have orchestrated the establishment of nearly 250 shell firms for generating bogus GST invoices. The fraudulent activities allowed the syndicate to wrongfully claim input tax credits totaling nearly ₹10 crore. During coordinated raids across the Delhi-NCR region, police recovered ₹51.12 lakh in cash, along with mobile phones, laptops, and forged documents. The investigation has identified close to 50 shell companies involved in this scheme, and authorities are continuing to probe for additional beneficiaries linked to the racket. One suspect, Dilip Kumar, remains at large as the investigation progresses.
