Naresh Kumar, a superintendent in the Haryana development and panchayat department, has been dismissed for his alleged role in the misappropriation of public funds. His dismissal, dated April 23, was executed without a departmental inquiry due to the ongoing investigation by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), which took over from the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) on April 9. The CBI is examining a complex financial fraud involving embezzlement and fictitious transactions connected to IDFC First Bank. Kumar is accused of being a key player in a conspiracy that diverted government funds into private accounts through a fraudulent firm named Swastik Desh Projects. Reports indicate that he received ₹6.45 crore in multiple transactions and acquired personal assets using these illicit funds. The dismissal order cited concerns that a departmental inquiry could jeopardize the ongoing criminal investigation due to the organized nature of the fraud and the involvement of external actors, including bank officials.
