The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) conducts searches in connection with a Haryana bank scam case and seizes financial records and digital evidence, officials say. The searches take place in Chandigarh and Panchkula, and are carried out at multiple sites including residential premises, business establishments and jewellers’ showrooms, as well as the premises of suspected beneficiaries of allegedly misappropriated government funds and other private entities linked to the investigation.
The CBI alleges that certain officials of IDFC First Bank and AU Small Finance Bank, in connivance with public servants of various departments of the Haryana government, misappropriate government money using fraudulent methods. The case is investigated by the CBI after being handed over by the Haryana government for inquiry. During the searches conducted on May 14, the agency says it recovers and seizes “incriminating” documents and other articles, including digital evidence relevant to the alleged fraud.
Both reports describe the same core allegations, the involvement of bank and government officials, and the CBI’s seizure of records and digital materials during searches across the region.
