AHMEDABAD: In the Rs 1,500 crore bogus billing scam, the Ahmedabad Crime Branch on Friday arrested the mastermind, Altaf Sakarwala (32), from Bhavnagar.
Sakwarwala used to operate from a hotel room in Bhavnagar with three others – Shabbir Ali, Hanif Saiyed and Nayeem Lakhani – wherein they used bogus GST registrations and fake bills to illegally claim input tax credit.
