The available reporting does not establish who was arrested in the specific Bhubaneswar incident described as involving a forged rental agreement for GST registration, or when the arrest occurred. Separate 2021 Odisha GST-fraud cases involved allegations of forged registration documents, but they are not confirmed to be this incident and their accused people and figures should not be attributed to it.
What is known about the specific arrest
No matching report or official record in the available sources confirms the accused person’s identity, arrest date or location, police station, case number, alleged offences, or procedural status. Without a source tied to this exact incident, those details remain unverified.

That means the claim in the headline cannot responsibly be expanded into a case narrative: there is no confirmed account here of how the agreement was allegedly forged or used, what investigators said, or whether a court has ruled on the matter.

Separate Odisha cases provide context, not identification
The SR Enterprises investigation
The New Indian Express reported on 28 June 2021 that Odisha’s GST Enforcement Wing arrested Smruti Ranjan Sahoo, proprietor of SR Enterprises, in a separate alleged invoice-fraud case. The report said fake invoices totaling ₹106 crore and alleged input tax credit of ₹19.04 crore were involved. It also reported an official allegation that Sahoo submitted false business-location information and a forged rent agreement. These details concern that 2021 case only, not the arrest described in the headline. The New Indian Express’s report
A separate two-arrest investigation
NDTV reported on 3 September 2021 that two people were arrested in another alleged Odisha GST-fraud case. The report said rent agreements, consent letters, and genuineness certificates submitted for VAT and GST registration were found by investigators to be forged. It cited alleged bogus input tax credit of ₹323 crore and fake purchase and sale invoices of ₹1,819 crore. Those allegations belong to that separate case and do not identify the person or establish the facts of the headline incident. NDTV’s report

The Bhubaneswar–Cuttack Police Commissionerate lists tenant verification as a citizen service under Odisha Police’s CCTNS project. Its instructions say to log in, enter tenant and personal details, check the form carefully before submitting it because it cannot then be edited, and keep the system-generated print copy. This service information is not evidence of a connection to the alleged arrest. Commissionerate tenant-verification instructions (last updated 6 October 2026).
