Bombay HC Orders Multi-Agency Probe and Government Takeover of Sinhgad Trust Colleges
The Bombay High Court has ordered investigations by the CBI, Enforcement Directorate, and Income Tax Department into the Sinhgad Technical Education Society's management of 44 educational institutions amid allegations of financial irregularities and unpaid dues exceeding ₹400 crore. The court froze the trust's bank accounts and assets, restrained trustees from property dealings, and directed them to cooperate with authorities. Following prolonged salary defaults and employee distress, including reported suicides, the Maharashtra government took over management of seven colleges to protect students and staff interests.
