In a major anti-corruption move, the Haryana government has officially greenlit a CBI investigation into five IAS officers. The probe stems from a massive ₹590-crore fraud involving IDFC First Bank and AU Small Finance Bank.
Officials allegedly colluded to park government funds in unauthorized private bank accounts, leading to severe misappropriation. Granted under Section 17A of the Prevention of Corruption Act, this clearance allows the CBI to officially summon the bureaucrats.
So far, sixteen individuals have been arrested as federal investigators widen their net across Chandigarh and Panchkula.
