Investigators found that the fraud was carried out using multiple fake companies. These companies existed only on paper and had no real business activities. The accused reportedly built a chain of such shell companies. Invoices were passed from one company to another within this network. In the end, some companies used these fake invoices to claim tax benefits even though no real business deal had taken place. Authorities also noticed suspicious money transfers in bank accounts linked to these firms. They are now checking bank records and digital transactions to track where the money went and who else was involved. Officials said this case is part of a larger nationwide drive against GST fraud. Apart from this, authorities have recently uncovered many similar scams involving substantial sums of money throughout the country.
