Two Employees Booked for Rs 97 Lakh Fraud at Ludhiana FirmPreviousNext

Two employees of a Ludhiana-based firm, Bhupinder Singh and Gagandeep Kaur, have been accused of defrauding their company of approximately Rs 97 lakh. They allegedly pocketed cash payments from customers and recorded these as credit card transactions using fake swipe slips and manipulated sales reports to conceal the embezzlement. The fraud was uncovered after an internal review, leading to a police investigation examining financial records and bank transactions. The police continue to probe the case to determine the full extent and any additional involvement.
