Seven Arrested in Rs 524-Crore GST Tax Evasion Scam
Imagine some people made up fake businesses to cheat on their taxes.
They made fake documents like IDs and used them to register these fake businesses.
Then, they created fake bills to pretend they were selling things and avoided paying taxes.

The police caught them and arrested seven people who were involved.
They are now investigating further.
Seven individuals were arrested in Jodhpur, Rajasthan for their involvement in a GST tax evasion scheme.
