The Hyberabad police have arrested two members of an inter-state GST fraud network that allegedly created 10 fake GST-registered firms to fraudulently claim and pass on Input Tax Credit (ITC) worth Rs11.79 crore. The arrests were made on Thursday, November 12, 2025.
The racket, operating across eight states, reportedly used forged documents and fake identities to fabricate invoices and generate a turnover of Rs53.73 crore, causing substantial losses to the exchequer.
The arrested individuals are Sohil Muradali Lakhani alias Sonu, 34, a Gujarat-based organiser and financial handler, and Mohd Akram Hasnuddin, 43, a Hyderabad resident who acted as a middleman and document courier.
Authorities confirmed that three key members remain at large, including the alleged mastermind Abdullah from Delhi, along with Syed Mujtaba Hussaini alias Azam and Ayiti Raja Shekar.
The investigation is ongoing, with police working to track down the remaining members and recover illicit funds, highlighting a major crackdown on inter-state tax evasion and fraudulent GST operations.
