Two persons from Raigarh, Chhattisgarh, were arrested on Friday by officers of directorate-general of GST intelligence, Rourkela regional unit, for their alleged role in an inter-state GST fraud racket, said a press release issued on Sunday.
Aman Singhania, 35, and Aavesh Agarwal, 32, allegedly ran fake companies to generate fraudulent input tax credit worth over Rs 90 crore across Odisha and Chhattisgarh.
Coordinated searches at multiple locations in Raigarh, Baramkela and other premises linked to the duo resulted in recovery of documents and digital records indicating large-scale fake invoices. Both were summoned and arrested on Friday. After being produced in court, they were sent to Rourkela special jail on Friday night.
“Further investigation is underway to identify additional linked entities and beneficiaries,” said the release.
