Officials from the GST intelligence department disclosed that the investigation unfolded after the initial arrest of one member of the fraudster group.
Subsequently, crucial information regarding the extensive network involved in the scam came to light. The authorities managed to apprehend the alleged mastermind of the group at Bangalore airport, just as he was attempting to flee the country under a false identity.
