Chinese Woman Caught in Rs 9 Crore GST Scam; Court Orders to Continue Investigation

The Chinese woman, Alice Li, who was earlier accused of being involved in a huge GST scam, was presented before the court on September 2, 2025. The matter was first listed on August 27 and suggested a cross-border involvement in GST fraud.

The investigating officer had submitted some extra evidence, such as documents and witness statements. One of these pieces of evidence includes the WhatsApp Chats between Alice and Chinese directors. As per the investigators, these chats already suggest that she was connected with the GST fraud network. Additionally, among the testimonies, an accountant named Sundar Kumar also confirmed that Alice was working under two Chinese directors named Li Dan and another Chinese, who were monitoring the fund management and coordinating activities related to the GST tax evasion scam.

As of now, the investigation has discovered GST evasion worth Rs 9 crore, but the officers estimate that once all financial transactions are revealed, the total scam could reach up to Rs 200 crore.

The court observed that evidence initially showed that Alice was involved in the GST scam. Alice has been ordered to remain in custody until September 12 by the court. The court has also directed the GST Department to continue its investigation and produce the other evidence before it at the next hearing.

The officers have also informed the court about the two accused Chinese directors. They may be investigated and summons could be issued to them depending on the case and the cooperation under the international legal framework.
