A resident of Mumbai was swindled out of Rs 7 crore after fraudsters misused her company's GST credentials, according to local police authorities. The alleged perpetrator, identified as Bharat Singh, reportedly deceived Sonia Ambavat by promising financial help and accessing essential business documents without her consent.
The scam unfolded when GST officials uncovered suspicious activity in the company's name. Singh had previously offered to assist with business ventures and household expenses following the death of Ambavat's husband. Utilizing this trust, Singh allegedly gathered and misused the company's GST credentials to fabricate transactions.
The fraudulent scheme has prompted legal action, with the police confirming that a case has been filed against Singh. Further investigations are in progress to trace the transactions back to bank accounts in Visakhapatnam, revealing the extent of the financial misconduct.
