The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has registered an FIR in connection with the alleged siphoning off of Haryana government funds worth over ₹550 crore using shell entities and two IAS officers have been suspended over suspected links to the case, officials said on Thursday.
“The case pertains to fraudulent banking operations and fictitious transactions allegedly undertaken in a systematic manner to siphon off government funds into the accounts of shell companies, including Swastik Desh Project, SRR Planning Gurus Pvt. Ltd., Cap Co Fintech Services, R.S. Traders, and other associated firms/individuals,” the FIR stated.
The matter was initially examined by the State government and referred to the State Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Bureau in February for investigation after registering a case.
“Considering the magnitude, complexity, and gravity of the case, including its inter-State ramifications, the possibility of transnational diversion of proceeds of crime, involvement of multiple entities, including public servants and banking officials, and the significant impact on public finances and institutional integrity, the State government decided to transfer the case to the CBI,” the FIR stated.
