A small sweet shop owner in Uttar Pradesh's Meerut was shocked when a received a Rs 141 crore I-T notice linked to six "registered" firms under his name in Delhi, TOI reported.
Sudhir Kumar, who runs a confectionary from his home in Khurja in Bulandshahr, said he did not know about the companies and alleged that they were set up using forged documents.
He further claimed that unknown people had misused his Aadhar and PAN card details to register the firms in 2022.
"A fraud was committed using my documents. My monthly income is Rs 10,000-12,000," he told TOI, adding police initially refused to register his complaint, citing the matter was under the jurisdiction of I-T dept. .
On July 10, Kumar received a fresh demand from the I-T department seeking details of sales worth Rs 1,41,38,47,126 for the financial years 2021-23.
"If my documents were being used for any purpose, I should receive an OTP, which I never did. How would I come to know if they are misused?" Sudhir Kumar asked.
He approached Bulandshahr senior superintendent of police Dinesh Kumar Singh after receiving a notice in July, who ordered an FIR. Based on the complaint, an FIR was registered under BNS section 318 (cheating) against six firms, all registered in Delhi, on Friday.
The complainant told police that he did not know how his documents were misused.
The police is now probing to ascertain whether the documents were misused to open these firms under the complainant's name. We're trying to find all those behind this," senior superintendent of police Singh said.
In the FIR, Kumar also stated that he had responded on the govt's I-T portal after receiving the notice in 2022.
