Delhi Police has arrested a 42-year-old man who along with his accomplices cheated a Ludhiana-based jeweller of 10kg gold plates valued at approximately Rs 6 crore by impersonating the Inspectors of central GST officers, an official said on Tuesday.
The accused, identified as Sushil Kumar alias Toppi, a resident of Ludhiana, used to go to the GST office in a routine manner and had gained some knowledge of the working of GST officers. DCP (outer) Harendra K Singh said an FIR was registered on the complaint of Ravinder Kumar, in which he stated that he purchases gold from Delhi in routine for making gold jewellery and sells it in the local market.
“On July 10, he sent his driver Balraj and worker Rajan Bawa to take the delivery of gold from Delhi with GST bills. Around 9 pm they took the delivery of gold and left for Ludhiana (Punjab) in an Ertiga car. Around 9:30 pm when they reached near Haryana Maitri Bhawan, Near West Enclave, one white i20 car overtook them and two unknown persons came out of that i20 Hyundai car and introduced themselves as Inspector from the Central GST department,” the DCP said.
