Noida: A 25-year-old man, who is part of a gang accused of tax evasion worth nearly Rs 2 crore, was arrested from Sector 62 on Thursday, police said. The accused, Rohan Gupta (25), is a resident of Govindpuri, Delhi. Police said that on July 29, 2024, the gang had obtained a GST registration number through a fraudulent firm called KS Enterprises. Later, they created several more such firms by the names of Alam Enterprises, CP Traders, and Tradeography. During the financial year 2024-25, without engaging in any actual purchase or sale activities, they filed bogus IGST claims amounting to Rs 1.7 crore.The gang also fabricated bogus inward supplies and generated corresponding outward supplies to other firms. Bogus IGST Input Tax Credit (ITC) was passed on to the supply firm, CP Trade. Furthermore, through the firm K S Enterprises, invoices for supplies were declared from a bogus, non-existent firm named Tradeography, solely through the exchange of fraudulent documents. Consequently, forged ITC was claimed against these inward supplies.On October 25, 2025, the state tax officer had registered a case under sections 318(4) (cheating), 338, 336(3), and 340 (all related to forgery) of the BNS at Sector 58 police station in connection with the matter. Subsequently, police began an investigation. After sustained electronic surveillance and with the help of local intelligence, Gupta was arrested from Chhota D Park on Thursday. One mobile phone, a tablet, and two fake Aadhaar cards were recovered from Gupta’s possession at the time of arrest. A search is currently underway for other members of the gang.
