The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has executed searches at six locations in Chandigarh, Panchkula, and Delhi-NCR as part of an investigation into a ₹661 crore fraud linked to IDFC First Bank and AU Finance Bank. The investigation focuses on the alleged siphoning of government funds from various departments of the Haryana government and the Chandigarh administration. Officials reported that the searches targeted premises associated with senior public servants from Haryana and the Noida-based Vipam Consultancy Pvt Ltd. Evidence suggests that these public servants colluded with bank officials to facilitate the opening of accounts, fund transfers, and subsequent diversions. They allegedly received undue benefits for their roles in these transactions. The CBI has seized incriminating documents, digital devices, and property records during the searches. This investigation is a continuation of cases taken over from the Haryana State Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Bureau and includes charges of criminal conspiracy and misappropriation of funds. The CBI has already filed its first chargesheet detailing the involvement of public servants from the Haryana Power Generation Corporation Ltd and Haryana School Shiksha Pariyojna Parishad, with more chargesheets expected as the investigation proceeds.
