Delhi Police Break Up Large GST Invoice Fraud Network
Introduction
The Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of the Delhi Police has shut down a complex financial network that specialized in creating fake Goods and Services Tax (GST) invoices.
Main Body
The investigation began on March 24 after a case was filed because someone's identity and biometric data were used without permission. The criminals pretended to offer jobs in the GST Department to trick people, and they established a firm called M/s RK Enterprises in September 2025. This company was used to handle transactions worth over ₹128 crore and to illegally claim about ₹10 crore in Input Tax Credit (ITC). By analyzing digital records and bank statements, police discovered that Raj Kumar Dixit led the group. The syndicate created fake financial documents to make 'shell companies' look like real businesses. These companies issued invoices for goods or services that were never actually delivered, which allowed the group to move money and file false tax returns. While investigators have officially found 50 shell companies, they believe there may have been up to 250. Different members had specific roles: Raj Kumar Dixit was the main strategist, while Vibhash Kumar Mitra and Amar Kumar handled the technical side of GST registration. Nitin Verma managed the fake billing, and Mohd. Waseem and Abid moved the illegal money through banks. During coordinated raids on May 15, police arrested six people and seized ₹51.12 lakh in cash, forged stamps, and electronic devices.
Conclusion
Six suspects are currently in custody, but one accomplice, Dilip Kumar, is still missing. The police are continuing their investigation to find other people who benefited from the fraud.

The 'B2 Leap': Moving from Simple Actions to Complex Systems
At an A2 level, you describe what happened. At a B2 level, you describe how it was organized. This article is a goldmine for learning how to describe professional roles and systemic deception.
⚡ The Power of 'Specialized' Vocabulary
Notice how the text doesn't just say "they did bad things." It uses precise verbs to describe a process. This is the difference between sounding like a student and sounding like a professional.
- To handle Instead of saying "did the money," use handled transactions. It sounds more official.
- To claim You don't just "get" tax money; you claim it. This implies a formal request to a government.
- To seize Police don't just "take" cash; they seize it. This is a legal term for taking something by force/law.
🔍 Decoding the "Shell Company" Logic
To reach B2, you must be able to explain abstract concepts. Look at this phrase:
"The syndicate created fake financial documents to make ‘shell companies’ look like real businesses."
Breakdown for the A2 mind:
- The Syndicate: A fancy word for a organized crime group.
- The Shell: A company that exists only on paper (no office, no employees). It is a "shell" because it is empty inside.
- The Goal: The appearance of legitimacy.
🛠️ Grammar Shift: The Passive vs. The Active
Look at the transition in the text. It moves from who did it to what was done.
- Active (A2): "Police arrested six people." (Focus on the Police)
- Passive (B2): "Six suspects are currently in custody." (Focus on the suspects/the state of being)
Pro Tip: When reporting news or business updates, shift your focus to the object of the action. Instead of saying "The company lost money," try "Money was lost by the company." This creates a formal, journalistic tone.
