The Directorate General of GST Intelligence (DGGI) has arrested Sanjay Kumar Jain, owner of M/S Sarvottam Rolling Mills Private Limited, on charges of large-scale Goods and Services Tax (GST) evasion amounting to approximately ₹29 crore.
According to officials, Jain’s company, engaged in the manufacturing of iron and steel products in Muzaffarnagar, allegedly used fake invoices and fabricated raw material purchase bills to transport steel products without proper tax compliance. The fraudulent activities reportedly came to light after a detailed investigation by the DGGI, revealing the evasion between January 2022 and 2024.
Following his arrest, Jain was produced before the Hon’ble Special CJM’s Court in Meerut. After hearing the arguments presented by Special Public Prosecutor Advocate Lakshay Kumar Singh and his associate Mrs. Vandana Singh, the court remanded the accused to 14 days of judicial custody.
Authorities have stated that further investigation is underway to identify other parties potentially involved in the alleged tax evasion network.
