UP worker shares documents for job in Dubai, gets Rs 232 crore notice from Delhi’s I-T dept | Bareilly News

BAREILLY: A recent case in UP’s Bareilly came to light where a fake export firm was created using an embroidery worker’s documents. The issue was uncovered when he received a notice for a transaction of 2.32 billion.
Scammers, under the guise of offering a job, took documents from Phool Miyan and opened a fake firm in Delhi. They conducted transactions worth 2.32 billion rupees and evaded taxes.
Phool Miyan learned of this when he received a notice from the Delhi Income Tax Department for the transactions. When he confronted those who took his documents, they started threatening him. A complaint was lodged with the police.
Phool Miyan, a resident of Bareilly’s Quila area, said he works in embroidery and travels to places like Ludhiana, Panipat, etc., when work is scarce. In 2018, he asked Guddu Sundar alias Uwais, who travelled to Dubai several times, to help him find a job.
Trusting him, Phool Miyan handed over his Aadhaar card, PAN card, photo, and other documents to Guddu, who introduced him to Nanhe alias Suhail and Asif Khan. They assured him that he would soon get a job. However, due to the COVID lockdown, things were delayed, and he never got a job.
On February 5th this year, he received the first notice from the Delhi Income Tax Department stating that his company, HI Cloud Impax, conducted transactions worth 2.32 billion rupees, with significant taxes due.
Shocked, he immediately contacted Guddu and Nanhe, who admitted to opening a company using his documents and registering it for GST. Initially, they promised to resolve the issue, but when they didn’t, they started issuing threats. Now he has received another notice from the Delhi I-T Department.
Circle Officer (City Second) Sandeep Singh said, “A complaint was lodged by one Phool Miyan that his documents were misused and an export firm was made through which transactions of over 200 crore were done. Phool Miyan has received a notice from the IT Department. Based on his complaint, we have registered an FIR against the people named in the complaint, and the case is under investigation.”
