Fraudster's Rs 21 Crore Scam on Government Funds: Rs 13K Salary, BMW Owner, and Exotic Apartment for Girlfriend
Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Maharashtra, made the startling discovery that a man making a little Rs 13,000 a month was living a lavish lifestyle. The defendant, Harsh Kumar Kshirsagar, gave his girlfriend a sumptuous four-bedroom residence in addition to a high-end BMW. However, a huge fraud scheme for Rs 21.59 million was the cause of this luxurious lifestyle.
The Deception Revealed
Through online banking fraud, Harsh Kumar, a contract worker at the Departmental Sports Complex in Sambhajinagar, is accused of embezzling Rs 21.59 million in public monies. Everyone was shocked by the scam's boldness, as Kumar and his associates transferred money into their personal accounts using falsified documents.
According to investigations, Harsh carried out the fraud over a period of several months with the help of two other people: clerk Yashoda Shetty and her husband BK Jeevan. The money was taken out of an Indian Bank account that was intended for government use. The accused allegedly falsified the requisite paperwork to obtain access to the account, even though the transactions required checks signed by the Deputy Sports Director.
Luxurious Spending
The lavish lifestyle was financed by the illicit income. Harsh Kumar commissioned a famous city jeweler to create a diamond-encrusted spectacle, and he bought a BMW motorcycle and automobile. Additionally, he gave his girlfriend a four-bedroom apartment in a desirable area close to the airport. Jeevan, another defendant, used the pilfered funds to purchase an SUV for Rs 35 lakh.
Delays in Detection
The fraudulent operations were surprisingly overlooked for six months. Tejas Deepak Kulkarni, the sports officer for Nandigram Colony, filed a formal complaint, which led to the case's discovery. The accused had already laundered a sizable sum of money at this point.
Police Inquiry
According to the police investigation, Yashoda Shetty was engaged as a clerk by Web Multi Services in 2023, while Harsh Kumar was hired as a contract operator by Disha Facilities Private Limited in February 2022. Both people took use of their positions to activate the account's internet banking and stole public monies.
Present Situation
Harsh Kumar, the main suspect, is allegedly escaping with the SUV and is currently absconding. To make sure justice is done, the case is being actively pursued by law enforcement.
To stop such startling embezzlements of public cash, this example emphasizes the necessity of strict financial monitoring and frequent audits in government operations.
