A Roadside Shop and a Multimillion Rupee Notice
In a shocking incident reported from Gorakhpur, a humble roadside puncture repairman was left traumatized after receiving a CGST summons regarding transactions worth a staggering 100 crore INR. The recipient, who barely earns enough to cover his daily household expenses, and his family were completely blindsided by the official notice delivered by a postman. The news has sent shockwaves through the local community, with neighbors and relatives wondering how a simple laborer could find himself entangled in such a massive financial investigation.
Identity Stolen Under the Pretense of a Loan
The victim, Raj Prajapati, stated that he had never even dreamed of seeing the kind of money mentioned in the official notice. Terrified by the legal summons, he explained that his primary focus in life has always been earning a basic livelihood by repairing tyres. The root of his current legal trouble, however, traces back to a deceptive loan offer.
According to a report by TrendKia, Ram Prajapati had sought a financial loan from a local villager in 2024 to fund his sister's wedding. Taking advantage of his vulnerability, the lender demanded his Aadhaar and PAN cards under the pretext of processing the loan. The individual also made Ram sign various documents and recorded his video on two separate occasions. Unbeknownst to the victim, these vital personal documents and signatures were used to incorporate a fraudulent entity named M/s Gadgetric Technology Private Limited and open a corporate account with a private bank.
Uncovering a 100 Crore Rupee Fraud and Massive Tax Evasion
The elaborate corporate fraud came to light in February 2026, when officials from the Varanasi CGST department launched an investigation into the financial activities of M/s Gadgetric Technology Private Limited. Investigators discovered that the dummy enterprise had clocked a turnover of approximately 100 crore INR. Despite the massive business volume, the company had outstanding GST dues of around 28 crore INR and had abruptly ceased operations to evade tax authorities.
To track down the perpetrators, a CGST inspection team traveled to Rampur Buzurg village in Gorakhpur in March 2026 to verify the official residential address of the company's registered director, Raj Prajapati. Upon arrival, the investigators were stunned to find that the supposed corporate director of a multi-crore firm was actually running a tiny, makeshift roadside tyre repair stall.
Summons Issued for Appearance in Varanasi
During the on-site verification, Raj Prajapati cooperated fully with the officials, clarifying that he had absolutely no association with the company and that his identity documents had been fraudulently misused by third parties. Following this preliminary inquiry, the CGST team returned without taking immediate punitive action.
However, the administrative procedures did not stop there. On 27 May 2026, the Varanasi CGST department issued a formal summons to Raj Prajapati. He has been ordered to appear in person at the CGST Commissioner's Office in Varanasi on 29 May 2026 to present his case and clarify his stance regarding the massive outstanding tax liability. The distressed family is now running pillar to post to seek legal guidance and prove their innocence.
