Haryana Officials Booked for Alleged Embezzlement in Horticulture Schemes
The Haryana Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Bureau registered a case against five former horticulture department officials for alleged irregularities and embezzlement in government schemes since 2007. Investigations found that subsidies for orchard rejuvenation, mushroom units, organic farming, and other projects were granted despite the absence of corresponding crops or infrastructure. The officials are accused of causing financial loss by violating norms, including manipulating beneficiary details to obtain illegal subsidies. The case followed a complaint filed in 2013 and an inquiry by a DSP-rank officer.
