A businessman was defrauded of Rs 1.3 crore in a GST scam by a fake Chartered Accountant (CA) in Jaipur. The businessman had hired the CA to manage his GST filings and other financial matters. However, the CA misused the access to the businessman’s GST account, diverted funds, and manipulated records to embezzle the money. The scam came to light when the businessman noticed discrepancies in his accounts and filed a police complaint. The case highlights the risks associated with relying on unverified professionals for financial and tax-related services. Law enforcement agencies are investigating the matter, and efforts are underway to recover the stolen funds and bring the perpetrator to justice.
