Taking major action in the financial scam case, the Haryana government has dismissed HPGCL (Haryana Power Generation Corporation Limited) Finance Director Amit Diwan. He was arrested by the Haryana State Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Bureau on March 18, after which he was under suspension.
Government spokesperson said that on the orders of the government, investigation into the matter was initiated by the Haryana State Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Bureau by registering an FIR regarding irregularities and fraud in the operation of accounts of IDFC First Bank and AU Small Finance Banks. The case was registered under various sections of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988 (Amended 2018) and the Indian Judicial Code, 2023. The investigation has revealed serious allegations like misuse of government funds, criminal conspiracy and fraud.
Investigation has revealed that the case pertains to a well-planned and multi-layered financial scam, in which government funds were transferred to entities and accounts linked to the accused and their associates through fraudulent banking transactions by manipulating government processes.
In the investigation of this case, it became clear that Amit Divan misused his official position and established relations with the accused persons and bank officials and obtained undue benefits by compromising the interests of HPGCL. Therefore, the conduct of the said guilty officer has been found to be adverse to the interests of the power utilities.
