New Delhi: A major financial scam has come to light in Haryana, where around ₹590 crore has reportedly gone missing from multiple government bank accounts.
According to officials, the issue was discovered in nearly 12 bank accounts linked to different departments of the state government. During checking, it was found that the actual balance in these accounts was much lower than expected, revealing a huge shortage of funds.
Initially, the case was being investigated by the state vigilance department and Chandigarh Police. So far, 15 people have been arrested in connection with the fraud.
Now, the Haryana government has recommended handing over the case to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) for a deeper and more detailed probe. Once the approval is given by the central government, the CBI will officially begin its investigation.
This incident has raised serious concerns about financial security and monitoring within government departments.
