Rs 590 crore stolen from 12 bank accounts of Haryana government, now CBI will investigate the matter

The matter of crores of rupees missing from government accounts in Haryana has now become more serious. This big scam of about Rs 590 crore has created a stir in both administration and politics. Now the investigation of this entire matter has been handed over to the central agency CBI, from which it is expected that the truth will come out soon.

Considering the seriousness of this case, Haryana Government had recommended handing over the investigation to CBI, which has now been approved. Earlier, this case was being investigated by the state vigilance team and Chandigarh Police. Now CBI will try to get to the bottom of how money went missing on such a large scale and who are the people behind it.

Crores missing from 12 government accounts

According to the information, this scam is related to about 12 bank accounts of the state government. Irregularities were found in the amount present in these accounts and about Rs 590 crore were found short. Most of these accounts were in IDFC First Bank, while some accounts were opened in AU Small Finance Bank. Now the focus of the investigation is on which accounts the money was transferred to and how it was used.

Preliminary investigation has revealed that the main accused had created several fake companies. Bank accounts were opened in the names of these companies and money from government accounts was gradually transferred to these accounts. The names of some fake companies have also come to light, through which this transaction was done. These were used only to withdraw money and hide it.

Transfer done with fake documents, 15 arrested so far

The investigating agencies have also found out that fake debit memos were used in this scam. On the basis of these fake documents, the money was sent to different accounts. This method was so well planned that no one could detect this error for a long time.

So far 15 people have been arrested in this case. However, investigating agencies believe that more people may be involved in this. The role of some government officials and bank employees is also considered suspicious, whose investigation is still going on.

The matter echoed in the assembly also

This matter is so big that it was discussed even in the Haryana Assembly. The opposition sought answers from the government and called it serious negligence. The government says that as soon as the irregularities were detected, immediate action was initiated and the matter came to light through investigation. The Chief Minister has clearly said that if any government official or bank employee is found guilty in this scam, strict action will be taken against him.
