Police said the cybercriminals had been duping the firm by misappropriating Rebate of State and Central Taxes and Levies licences, meant for the firm of Sonam Kapoor’s father-in-law Harish Ahuja.
The Faridabad police has busted a gang of highly-sophisticated cybercriminals involved in duping an export-import firm of the father-in-law of film actor Sonam Kapoor here of over ₹ 27 crore.
Police on Friday said the tricksters had been duping Ms Kapoor’s father-in-law Harish Ahuja’s Faridabad-based firm, Shahi Export Factory, by misappropriating Rebate of State and Central Taxes and Levies licences, meant for his firm, on the basis of his forged Digital Signature Certificate and encashing them.
Explaining the modus operandi of the highly innovative cyber fraud, Faridabad Deputy Commissioner of Police (Headquarters) Nitish Agarwal said the government gives some incentives to export firms in the form of ROSCTL licences, entitling them to some rebate in the excise and customs duties.
