A fresh update has emerged in the high-profile fraud case involving former Inspector General (IG) Amar Singh Chahal, as the cybercrime team has successfully frozen ₹3 crore out of the total ₹8.10 crore allegedly siphoned off by the accused.
Authorities have also seized around 25 bank accounts operated from Maharashtra, believed to have been used to execute the financial fraud. According to official sources, cyber and special task teams are jointly working to trace the suspects behind the scam.
Three accused have already been tracked down in Maharashtra, where the fraudulent network was reportedly based. Investigations suggest the culprits transferred the defrauded money across multiple bank accounts to avoid detection and make the large transactions appear routine.
Officials suspect the involvement of at least 10 individuals in the case. The accused are said to have lured victims with fake promises of high returns in the share market, subsequently duping them of large sums of money.
Meanwhile, former IG Amar Singh Chahal is still recovering and has not yet provided his official statement. Doctors have reportedly informed the administration that his statement may be recorded in the hospital by Sunday, depending on his health condition.
Police teams continue to pursue the remaining suspects with the assistance of cyber experts and the special task force to recover the embezzled funds and identify the full network involved in the operation.
