Haridwar:- A case of financial fraud amounting to ₹1.02 crore has surfaced at ACMS Drugs and Pharmaceuticals, located in the Sidcul industrial area. Four employees from the company’s IT department have been accused of orchestrating the scam by issuing fake purchase orders to shell companies.
The fraud came to light during an internal audit conducted by the company. Following this, HR officer Samar Singh lodged a formal complaint at the Sidcul police station. Based on the complaint, police have filed a case under various sections of cheating and criminal conspiracy.
How the Fraud Was Carried Out
According to police, the accused employees — Rohit Tiwari, Kamaldeep, Ravi Sehrawat, and Vivek Goel — allegedly created three fake companies:
• Aufel LLP
• Nicole Consultancy Services Pvt. Ltd.
• Advanced Info Solution
These shell firms were reportedly registered in the names of their relatives. The accused placed inflated orders for IT equipment, software, and services to these companies. In many cases, no goods or services were delivered despite full payments being made.
Further investigation revealed that Ravi Sehrawat, a resident of Haridwar, was in direct contact with the operators of these companies. Funds were transferred from the company to the fake firms and then rerouted into personal accounts.
Police Action
Station in-charge Inspector Manohar Singh Bhandari confirmed that a case has been registered against the four individuals and an investigation is underway.
