The Sirsa police have arrested six individuals linked to a Rs 33 crore fraud involving embezzlement and cricket betting. The accused, connected to the company S.F. Food Pro Tech Limited, located on Dabwali Road, were taken into custody and presented before a court. The court granted a five-day police remand for further investigation.
The arrested bookies have been identified as: Rahul, Sanjay, Dinesh, Shubham, Ajay, Harpal
According to Superintendent of Police Vikrant Bhushan, the accused played a key role in transferring embezzled funds into their personal accounts, which were then used to place bets on cricket matches. This scam came to light after Saket Kumar, the company’s accountant, was arrested. Kumar, who had been with S.F. Food Pro Tech for 15 years, took advantage of the trust placed in him by the company’s owner, Sanjeev Gupta, and other family members.
Kumar allegedly diverted large sums of money from the company into his own accounts and subsequently transferred these funds to the bookies involved in cricket betting. He is currently lodged in Sirsa jail, and police are continuing to investigate the full scale of the embezzlement and the cricket betting network it funded.
