Haryana Police have arrested an accused, Kapil, son of Lajja Ram and a resident of Rajpura, from Sirhind. He is linked to the Municipal Corporation (MC) Panchkula fraud case. The arrest comes as part of an ongoing probe into alleged financial irregularities and suspected misuse of municipal funds.
Investigating officials said Rs 2.36 crore was allegedly transferred from the Municipal Corporation Panchkula account into Kapil’s bank account.
According to authorities, this transaction is a key part of the probe, and efforts are being made to trace how the funds were diverted, and who all were involved.
Police said Kapil is known to co-accused Rajat, who is already in police custody in the same case. Investigating officers believe this link could help uncover a larger module behind the alleged embezzlement of public money. Officials are examining financial records, personal connections and the sequence of transactions.
Officials also informed that another accused, Vinod of Rajpura had died earlier on August 17, 2024. Police have collected his death certificate as part of the investigation. Authorities are now reviewing his possible role and any financial connections he may have had with other accused persons before his death.
The case relates to the alleged misuse and diversion of municipal funds, raising concerns about financial monitoring and internal checks within the Panchkula Municipal Corporation. Investigators are analysing bank documents, transaction details, and other evidence to understand the full scale of the suspected fraud.
Police said the investigation is underway. Officials are focusing on tracing additional money transactions and identifying other individuals who may be connected to the case.
