Four people were arrested on Monday in connection with the pan-India fake billing syndicate, which was operating from several locations in the city's Beltola area. The Guwahati Zonal Unit of the Directorate General of GST Intelligence (DGGI) uncovered a massive Goods and Services Tax (GST) fraud worth almost ₹500 crore.

Guddu Singh, Vinod Agarwal, Deepak Agarwal, and Gaurav Agarwal have been named as the individuals that were arrested. Assam, West Bengal, and Delhi were all part of the group's nationwide bogus billing network, which had close ties to illegal coke facilities in Meghalaya and Arunachal Pradesh, according to a DGGI official.
