Haryana ₹504-crore embezzlement: CBI files third chargesheet naming 6 IAS officers
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has filed its third chargesheet in a ₹504-crore embezzlement case involving Haryana government funds. The investigation focuses on the alleged diversion of money through IDFC First Bank and AU Small Finance Bank.
The latest chargesheet, filed in a Special CBI Court in Panchkula, names 19 accused individuals. This group includes six IAS officers from the Haryana cadre, three officials from IDFC First Bank, one official from AU Small Finance Bank, and nine employees from various state government departments. To date, the total number of accused in the case has reached 37, with 26 individuals having been arrested.
According to the CBI, the scheme involved transferring funds from eight different Haryana government departments to specific bank branches where the accused officials were stationed. The agency alleges these transactions violated financial discipline and fraud-prevention guidelines, specifically by exceeding the ₹50-crore limit for government funds held in a single bank. The funds were reportedly siphoned off through fraudulent means into third-party accounts using fake or non-existent fixed deposits and other manipulated documents.
