A Dombivli resident has claimed that his documents were misused to create a fake firm, which ran a tax liability of Rs 2.9 crore, a police officer said on Friday. In his complaint to Vishnunagar police, the man said the fraud was committed between 2017 and 2024.
After learning about the tax matter, the complainant recently approached the police, leading to the registration of a case under Section 420 (cheating) of the Indian Penal Code, since the alleged crime was committed before the implementation of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita in July 2024, the officer said. “We have launched an investigation to trace the unknown accused. We are coordinating with the departments concerned to gather the company’s registration and tax details,” the police officer added.
