Man Carrying Rs 25,000 Reward Arrested in Rs 1.22 Crore GST Evasion Case Involving Fake Firms in Bulandshahr:

Police have arrested a man carrying a reward of Rs 25,000 in a case involving GST evasion of Rs 1.22 crore through fake firms. His associates were also arrested, and police recovered mobile phones from the accused. All the arrested accused have been sent to judicial custody. Earlier, six people had been arrested in connection with the case and sent to jail.

Superintendent of Police (Crime) Naresh Kumar said the GST Department filed a complaint at Kakod police station on December 23, 2025, over GST evasion worth Rs 1.22 crore through a bogus firm. To investigate the case, SSP Dinesh Kumar Singh formed a Special Investigation Team (SIT), which included Shiv Asare Singh, Joint Commissioner of the State Tax Department in Bulandshahr, along with his team, the cybercrime team and Kakod police.

During the investigation, police found that two fake firms, Sunshine Enterprises and Tanu Enterprises, were involved in the case. Six people linked to these firms were arrested earlier and sent to jail. The SSP had also announced a reward of Rs 25,000 for information leading to the arrest of Hoshiyaar Singh, who was wanted in the case.

Police have now arrested Hoshiyaar Singh and his associates, including Rinku Kumar alias Tinku, Vivek Sharma, Kumari Tanu, Deepa Raghuvanshi, Samar Chaudhary and Surendra. The accused are residents of different areas in Bulandshahr, Ghaziabad and Delhi, according to police. They have been sent to judicial custody.

According to the police, Sunshine Enterprises, operating in the Kakod area, allegedly prepared fake bills showing the supply of manpower to Tanu Enterprises on Jewar Road. Tanu Enterprises then used fake bills to show manpower supply to various offices. The two firms allegedly claimed GST benefits using these fake bills, resulting in a tax evasion of Rs 1.22 crore.
