The police have registered a case against a former manager of a Multipurpose Primary Agricultural Cooperative Society (MPACS) in Mahendragarh district on charges of embezzlement.
An FIR has been registered in this regard based on a complaint lodged by the Assistant Registrar of Cooperative Societies, Mahendragarh, with the district Superintendent of Police.
In the complaint, Parveen Kumar, Assistant Registrar (Cooperative Societies), Mahendragarh, stated that Ramraj, while serving as the manager of the Gudha Multipurpose Primary Agricultural Cooperative Society, had embezzled an amount of Rs 35,24,305 by March 31, 2022. The complaint further states that, according to an audit report of the said cooperative society, Ramraj also indulged in other irregularities during his tenure.
The Court of the Assistant Registrar (Cooperative Societies), Mahendragarh, had imposed a surcharge of Rs 35,24,305 (with 18 percent interest) on the former manager under Section 101 of the Haryana Cooperative Societies Act, 1984, on December 29, 2023. However, as per the complaint, the former manager did not deposit the said amount by December 9, 2025.
“Ramraj indulged in embezzlement while serving as the manager of the cooperative society, making him liable for legal action. Hence, a case should be registered against him under the Prevention of Corruption Act,” the Assistant Registrar urged the Superintendent of Police in the complaint.
The matter was examined by the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of the district police. In his report, EOW in-charge Sub-Inspector Yudhvir Singh recommended the registration of a case against the former manager. Following this, a case has been registered at Police Station Sadar, Kanina, under Section 409 of the IPC, which deals with criminal breach of trust by a public servant, banker, merchant, or agent. It is an aggravated form of criminal breach of trust, applying specifically to individuals in positions of trust, responsibility, and control over property.
