Panchkula, March 11 -- The state vigilance and anti-corruption bureau (ACB) has arrested another accused in the alleged Rs.590-crore fraud case linked to IDFC First Bank, officials said on Wednesday. The arrested accused has been identified as Ankur Sharma, a resident of Chandigarh. According to the prosecution, Ankur is a partner in SRR Planning Gurus Private Limited, a firm formed in July 2024. He allegedly holds a 50% stake in the company along with the mother of one of the accused, Ribhav Rishi. Investigators claim that the firm received Rs.45 crore that had been diverted from various Haryana government departments. The prosecution further alleged that Ankur assisted Ribhav Rishi in siphoning off government funds and that his custodial interrogation was necessary to probe the money trail and the alleged fraud. However, counsel for the accused opposed the request for police remand, arguing that the allegations made by the prosecution were vague. The defence maintained that the case primarily involves documentary evidence and does not require custodial interrogation. After hearing arguments, the court remanded Sharma to police custody for four days. Accused Priyanka Bhatoa and Anuj Kaushal were also produced before the court after completing one day of police remand. The court sent both accused to judicial custody. Earlier in the probe, Naresh Kumar Bhuwani, a superintendent in the office of the director, development and panchayat, Haryana, and Manish Jindal were arrested on February 28. The probe began on February 24 with the arrest of Ribhav Rishi and Abhay Kumar, both ex-staffers of IDFC First Bank, along with business partners Swati Singla and Abhishek Singla of Swastik Desh Project....
