Yamunanagar Fake Firm Case: Police Officer’s Documents Allegedly Misused

Police Officer’s Documents Allegedly Used to Register
Fake Firm in Yamunanagar

YAMUNANAGAR | PEN OF DEMOCRACY NEWS DESK

A Haryana Police Assistant Sub-Inspector has alleged that unidentified persons used his ration card and identity documents to register a business firm in his name nearly two decades ago. The alleged misuse came to light after recovery action in an old tax matter affected his bank accounts and salary.

An alleged case of identity-document misuse has surfaced in Yamunanagar after Assistant Sub-Inspector Karmjeet Singh approached the police, claiming that his personal documents were used without his knowledge to register a firm and obtain a VAT number.

Singh, who is posted as ASI staff with Haryana Police in Panchkula, stated in his complaint that unidentified persons allegedly used his ration card and other identity-related documents in 2008 to register a firm under the name M/S Yamuna Sales Corporation. According to the complaint, a VAT number was also obtained in the name of the firm through the Excise and Taxation Department.

How the alleged misuse came to light

Karmjeet Singh said he came to know about the alleged fraud nearly 18 years after the firm was registered. According to his complaint, the matter surfaced when action in connection with an old tax case led to his bank account being frozen and steps being initiated to attach his salary.

The development prompted him to seek details of the old case and find out why a tax-related liability connected with a firm he says he had never operated was affecting him financially. He subsequently approached the Yamunanagar police and submitted a detailed complaint.

The complainant has maintained that he never established the firm, conducted business through it or authorised anyone to use his identity documents for commercial registration. He has also denied opening or operating any bank account in the name of the firm.

Firm’s registered address and documents

According to the complaint, the address shown for M/S Yamuna Sales Corporation was on Jagadhri Road, near Jhelum Jewellers, opposite Hotel Umang and behind Sunny Bear in Yamunanagar.

Singh told the police that he had no connection with the firm or the stated business address and had never carried out business from the location. He alleged that unidentified persons used his documents to complete the commercial registration process and obtain a VAT number from the taxation authorities.

The complainant further stated that he neither opened a bank account for the firm nor operated any such account. He also denied preparing, signing or submitting business-related documents associated with the firm.

Singh said he was serving in the police department at the time of the alleged registration and was performing his government duties. He has therefore questioned how his identity documents were allegedly used to complete the registration and related financial formalities without his knowledge.

Tax registration cancelled in 2010, complaint says

An important part of the complaint concerns subsequent action by the Excise and Taxation Department. Singh stated that the department cancelled the alleged fake registration of the firm on March 22, 2010.

However, according to his complaint, the cancellation did not immediately end the financial and legal consequences associated with the firm. He said ex-parte penalty orders were subsequently passed against him in 2014 in connection with the firm’s tax-related affairs.

Singh has alleged that he was made to face the consequences of business and tax proceedings involving an entity with which he says he had no relationship. The complaint states that the matter eventually had a direct financial impact on him.

POD CITY & COMMUNITY

The case raises questions about how identity documents were allegedly used in a commercial registration and how the resulting tax and banking records remained linked to the complainant.

Bank accounts frozen and salary attachment initiated

The complainant said the seriousness of the matter became clear to him in July 2026, when recovery-related action was initiated, including the freezing of bank accounts and steps to attach his salary. He said this was when he learned about the financial consequences arising from the old tax proceedings.

The complaint further states that after the taxation authorities took action in connection with the firm, letters were sent to officials of the State Bank of India and HDFC Bank in Panchkula concerning bank accounts linked to the business. The accounts were subsequently frozen, according to the complainant.

Singh has told the police that the alleged misuse of his identity caused him financial loss and placed him in a tax-related dispute despite his claim that he had never operated the business.

Police register case and begin investigation

Yamunanagar City Police Station SHO Manoj Kumar said a case had been registered on the basis of the complaint and that an investigation was under way.

Police are examining how the complainant’s documents were allegedly obtained and used, how the firm was registered, who opened the bank accounts associated with the business and who may have been involved in the alleged fraud.

The investigation is also expected to examine registration records, tax documents, banking information and other paperwork connected with M/S Yamuna Sales Corporation. Police will have to establish whether the documents were actually misused, identify the persons responsible and determine the sequence of events surrounding the firm’s registration and subsequent financial activity.

At this stage, the allegations remain subject to investigation. The registration of a criminal case means that police have begun examining the complaint; it does not by itself establish the guilt of any person. Responsibility will depend on the findings of the investigation and any subsequent judicial proceedings.
