Rajesh Sangwan, who served as the controller of finance and accounts at the Haryana State Agricultural Marketing Board (HSAMB), has been dismissed from service due to his involvement in the misappropriation of public funds. His dismissal, effective April 30, follows an investigation that revealed serious misconduct, including procedural lapses and direct involvement in fraudulent financial transactions. Sangwan was arrested on March 14, and evidence indicated that he facilitated the opening of a bank account at IDFC First Bank without obtaining necessary quotations from other banks, which violated existing banking protocols. The dismissal order noted that Sangwan's actions not only tarnished the image of HSAMB but also posed a threat to public interest. His case is part of a larger initiative to address corruption within the organization, with two other officials dismissed in the past week under similar circumstances.
