According to the police, on the basis of these documents, many fake GST firms were created in the names of the victims without their knowledge. These include the names of firms like ‘Aarti Enterprises’, ‘Raja Enterprises’ and ‘Afisa Enterprises’.

During interrogation, Mahfooz told that most of the money coming into the accounts was related to slaughter and scrap business. It is alleged that he used to withdraw the money coming from various firms from his accounts and return the cash to the concerned people and take commission in return.
Mahfooz also claimed during interrogation that the money related to scrap business belonged to Noor Alam, Sanjeev Dixit, Sheebu and Rizwan. Advocate Firoz Khan has been said to be the alleged mastermind of the entire network, who was involved in preparing fake GST firms.
