The Delhi government's anti-corruption branch has taken decisive action against a major fraud case, arresting and suspending an executive engineer and a private contractor for embezzling over Rs 4.6 crore in the Irrigation and Flood Control Department.

The alleged fraudsters processed payments for drainage and road projects in Siraspur village that existed only on paper. An internal inquiry flagged these irregularities, leading the ACB to unearth extensive procedural violations.

The probe revealed non-existent works earmarked for public funds, alongside fake performance bank guarantees worth Rs 2.24 crore, signaling collusion and negligence. The accused face serious charges under the Prevention of Corruption Act.
