ACB arrests seven more in ₹54 crore GST refund scam

As per the ongoing investigation, the probe agency has so far uncovered forged invoices amounting to approximately Rs 718 crores. Earlier, the ACB had arrested seven people including a GST officer in the Delhi government and three advocates who were all involved in the case.

Sharing details of the case, ACB chief Madhur Verma said the matter came to light after the Vigilance Department found some irregularities in the functioning of ex-GST officer Babita Sharma.

Sharma was performing her duties in Ward No. 6 till July 2021. On her transfer to Ward No. 22 in July 2021, 53 firms suddenly applied for migration from Ward No. 6 to Ward No. 22 and the requests were approved in a very short span of time by the officer.
