The Central Bureau of Investigation has submitted its third chargesheet in the Rs 504‑crore Haryana bureaucratic fraud, implicating six senior IAS officers.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has lodged its third chargesheet in the ongoing probe into a massive Rs 504‑crore financial irregularity in Haryana. The latest filing formally accuses six senior Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officers of the state of involvement in the alleged misuse of public funds.
According to the chargesheet, the officers are suspected of facilitating irregularities in the allocation and disbursement of government resources, leading to a blowout that has been described as one of the largest bureaucratic frauds in recent years. The document outlines specific instances where procedural lapses and unauthorized approvals may have enabled the diversion of funds.
The three‑stage investigation, which began earlier this year, has already resulted in two prior chargesheets naming other officials. This third filing expands the scope of the case, signaling that the CBI is intensifying its scrutiny of the administrative machinery in the state.
Haryana authorities have acknowledged receipt of the chargesheet and indicated that they will cooperate with the central agency while also reviewing internal controls to prevent future lapses. No official comment from the accused officers has been reported as of now.
Legal experts note that the charges could lead to prosecution under the Prevention of Corruption Act, and the case is expected to proceed to court in the coming weeks, where the implicated officers will have the opportunity to defend themselves.
