Bombay High Court Orders Multi-Agency Probe into Sinhgad Society's Financial Irregularities
The Bombay High Court has ordered a multi-agency investigation 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, citing prolonged non-payment of salaries and retirement benefits to employees, with reports of 13 suicides linked to financial distress. The institutions continue operations and fee collection despite these issues.
