Family Trio Behind Rs 15,000 Crore GST Fraud: Noida Police Submit Charge Sheets

Noida: In a significant development, Noida Police has filed charge sheets against three accused in a major GST fraud case that caused a revenue loss of over Rs 15,000 crore to the government. The accused, Sanjay Dhingra, Kanika Dhingra, and Mayank Dhingra, are all residents of Punjabi Bagh, Delhi, and belong to the same family. They are currently in jail.

The trio allegedly created over 3,000 fake companies on paper to fraudulently claim input tax credit (ITC). They collected PAN and Aadhaar card details from millions of people across the country and used this data to establish fake companies. After acquiring GST numbers and generating fake bills, they claimed refunds, resulting in massive financial losses to the government. The fraudulent companies were also sold along with their GST numbers.

According to SSP Praveen Kumar Singh, charge sheets have been filed against 46 individuals so far, with 49 arrests made. None of the accused has been granted bail yet due to the effective advocacy by the prosecution team. Several other accused are still at large and are being actively pursued by the police. The police have also attached the properties of two other key accused, Puneet from Wazirabad and Sanjay Garg from Rohini, Delhi. Further actions to attach properties of other accused are ongoing.

The GST fraud case involves several businessmen who have already been arrested. The police continue to investigate and conduct raids at various suspected locations. The fraudulent activities not only involved claiming fake refunds but also laundering black money through these fictitious companies. The investigation is going on, and more properties belonging to the accused are likely to be attached.
