The Crime Branch of Jammu and Kashmir Police on Thursday arrested three individuals for their involvement in a multi-crore embezzlement and criminal breach of trust case at Jammu Flour Mills. The accused have been identified as Dikshant Anand, Narinder Chopra, and Amit Sharma, all employees of the organization.
The arrests followed a written complaint filed by Arun Mahajan, the managing partner of Jammu Flour Mills. Mahajan alleged that the trio—serving as area salesman, billing clerk, and accountant—had conspired in a fraudulent scheme that led to financial losses ranging from Rs2 crore to Rs2.5 crore.
A detailed forensic audit by a chartered accountant exposed the extent of the fraud. According to officials, the accused had devised a sophisticated modus operandi involving NEFT diversions to unrelated parties, under-billing of cash transactions, and manipulation of records.
The suspects allegedly created fictitious retail parties to mask illegal sales and embezzled funds through systematic internal manipulation. “It was a well-planned conspiracy using multiple fronts, including fake names and underreported transactions,” said a Crime Branch official.
Further investigation is underway to trace the full trail of diverted funds and identify any potential accomplices.
