Rs 9 Crore GST Scam Lands MD in Jail
Company director, Chinese aide remanded for massive tax evasion.
The company’s managing director, Vinay Kumar, and his Chinese associate, Alice Li (also known as Li Tengli), have been sent to judicial custody until September 1, 2025, for their alleged involvement in a Rs 9.19 crore Goods and Services Tax (GST) evasion scheme. The arrests, announced on Thursday, August 28, 2025, follow a meticulous investigation by the Central GST Department into M/s Ten Tech LED Display Pvt Ltd, which uncovered significant financial irregularities.
Special Public Prosecutor Lakshya Kumar Singh revealed that the probe exposed how Kumar and Li deliberately filed returns under incorrect tax categories, leading to a substantial revenue loss for the government. The duo was detained in Greater Noida, interrogated, and subsequently arrested after evidence confirmed their role in the sophisticated tax evasion plot. On Wednesday, they were presented before Special Chief Judicial Magistrate Durgesh Nandini’s court in Meerut, which ordered their judicial custody pending further investigation.
The court appearance was marked by chaos, as Li reportedly attempted to shield her face from media cameras, creating a commotion and even clashing with police personnel. Her actions drew significant attention, adding to the high-profile nature of the case.

The investigation into M/s Ten Tech LED Display Pvt Ltd began after authorities noticed discrepancies in the company’s tax filings. Officials found that the deliberate misclassification of tax categories was a calculated move to siphon off funds, costing the exchequer over Rs 9 crore. This case has raised alarms about the need for stricter oversight of corporate tax compliance, particularly in industries dealing with high-value transactions.
Local authorities have vowed to continue probing the company’s operations to determine if others were complicit in the scheme. The arrests have sent shockwaves through the business community in Meerut, with many calling for tougher regulations to prevent such large-scale financial fraud. As the case progresses, the court will decide the fate of Kumar and Li, while the GST Department works to recover the lost revenue and prevent future evasions.
This high-stakes financial scandal underscores the challenges of combating tax fraud in India’s complex economic landscape, with authorities determined to hold those responsible accountable.
