Employee Fraudulently Transfers Rs 21.59 Crore From Bank Account Of Sports Complex; Buys Luxurious Flats and Cars

The embezzlement of Rs 21.59 crore in the divisional sports complex came to light in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar a few days ago. The kingpin of the scam, Harshkumar Anil Kshirsagar (21, Ambad, Jalna, currently residing at Beed By-pass Road), is still at large. His accomplice, Yashoda Shetty, and her husband Jeevan Vinjada were previously arrested by the police. Harshkumar’s girlfriend, Arpita Wadkar, was also arrested from the Koparkhairne area in Navi Mumbai on Saturday. On Sunday, the police interrogated Arpita at the police commissionerate for hours, with CP Pravin Pawar himself conducting the inquiry.

It has been discovered that Harshkumar purchased an ultra-luxurious flat worth Rs 1.5 crore in Arpita’s name in a posh locality in front of the airport. Additionally, another flat in her name was purchased in the Aloknagar locality. Officers from the divisional sports complex and the bank were also interrogated on Sunday.

Gf did not reveal any information

So far, Arpita has not revealed crucial information to the police, leading them to consider requesting an extension of her police custody. Arpita comes from a simple family in Koparkhairne, Navi Mumbai. She has three sisters, and her father is paralyzed. She had been living with Harshkumar in the city for the past few months. Arpita, an athlete, met Harshkumar at the Divisional Sports Complex in 2021, and they became close friends.

Harshkumar worked as a contractual employee at the sports complex. He sent a message to the bank to release funds in his name by changing just one letter of the official email ID of the divisional sports complex. He also sent a forged letter on the letterhead of the director. He then used the Rs 21.59 crore he embezzled to purchase luxurious flats and cars.
