In a significant corruption case, the Haryana government has transferred the investigation to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) following the arrest of Amit Dewan, Director Finance of Haryana Power Generation Corporation Limited (HPGCL). The case centers on the alleged diversion of ₹50 crore (approximately $6 million USD) from government funds through unauthorized banking operations. An official order from the Uttar Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam Limited (UHBVN) revealed discrepancies including forged transactions and the opening of unauthorized accounts linked to HPGCL. Dewan was arrested on March 18, 2026, after investigations uncovered that an account named “HPGCL Dry Fly Ash Fund” was opened without proper procedures at IDFC First Bank in Chandigarh. Investigators found that the account was created without inviting quotations from empanelled banks, and that the bank was not empanelled at the time. Of the 32 transactions recorded, at least eight were fraudulent. The investigation also highlighted the opening of another suspicious account at AU Small Finance Bank. Given the seriousness of the allegations, including illegal gratification of ₹50 lakh (approximately $60,000 USD), the Haryana government opted for a CBI investigation to prevent any potential interference with evidence or witness tampering. This case underscores the urgent need for enhanced compliance and accountability within government financial operations.
