Fake Invoices, No Goods: Hyderabad Police Bust GST Fraud
Hyderabad’s Central Crime Station (CCS) police have arrested the managing partner of Ambika Steel in a large-scale GST fraud case involving fake invoices and e-way bills.
According to State GST officials, the accused issued bogus invoices to fraudulently claim Input Tax Credit (ITC) without ever moving any goods, a clear violation of the GST Act.
The investigation uncovered that a single vehicle, with the number AP29TA7213, was at the heart of the scheme. This vehicle, which had been immobile since June 2025 and was already under detention, was falsely shown as transporting goods. Its number was misused by multiple taxpayers to generate several e-way bills, despite no actual transportation taking place.
After an FIR was registered on July 30, the accused tried to get the case dismissed in the Telangana High Court, but his petition was rejected. He then attempted to flee to Goa but was intercepted and arrested by CCS personnel.
While the managing partner is in custody, police and GST authorities are still working to track down several other individuals linked to the fraud who remain at large. The investigation is ongoing.
