Actress Sonam Kapoor suffered a setback when it came out that her father-in-law Harish Ahuja has been duped of over Rs 27 crores.
Ahuja runs a Shahi Export Factory in Faridabad. As per reports, fraudsters forged his digital signature to flush out an amount of Rs 27.61 crores from the rebate of State and Central Taxes and Levies (ROSCTL).
Faridabad Deputy Police Commissioner Nitish Aggarwal pointed out that the miscreants had obtained a total of 154 ROSCT licenses, which were meant for ‘Shahi Export Factory’ and were worth ₹27.61 crores. The accused then encashed the amount by transferring the licenses to other fake companies operated by them.
The Faridabad police informed that a total of 9 people have been arrested in connection to the case. They were nabbed from different parts of the country, including Delhi, Maharashtra, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu.
Earlier in February, Sonam Kapoor’s husband Anand Ahuja was dropped by an international shipping company MyUS for using doctored invoices to avoid paying taxes and custom duty. In a series of tweets, MyUS had said the problem was with the documents Sonam’s husband had p;rovided.
