All accused have good IT knowledge," said the top officer.On interrogation, it was revealed that they used to get GST details of these celebrities from Google."They were very well aware that the first two digits of GSTIN are state code and the next 10 digits are PAN numbers. Since the celebrities' date of birth is available on Google, these two PAN and date of birth complete the PAN details," said an official privy to investigation."They got the PAN cards remade fraudulently by putting their own pictures on them so that during video verification, their looks match the photo available on their PAN/Aadhaar card."The accused used to apply for credit cards and during video verification, they were asked questions related to their financial activities which they answered easily as they had got all such details from CIBIL," the official added.Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
