A man working as a computer operator with a state-run sports complex in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Maharashtra, has been accused of swindling a massive Rs 21 crore despite earning a monthly salary of only Rs 13,000. Harshal Kumar Kshirsagar, 23, used his position to orchestrate a sophisticated scheme that involved defrauding the sports complex’s bank account and spending the stolen money on luxury cars, an expensive 4 BHK flat, and other high-end items for his girlfriend.
The alleged fraud came to light after police arrested Kshirsagar’s colleague, Yashoda Shetty, and her husband, BK Jeevan, for aiding and abetting the crime. Kshirsagar, who is currently on the run, reportedly accessed the bank account of the divisional sports complex through a clever trick involving a fake email address that mimicked the legitimate account’s address. This enabled him to transfer a total of Rs 21.6 crore to 13 different bank accounts between July 1 and December 7 of this year.
According to the investigation, Kshirsagar used the stolen funds to purchase a BMW car worth Rs 1.2 crore, an SUV priced at Rs 1.3 crore, and a BMW bike valued at Rs 32 lakh. Additionally, he bought a 4 BHK flat near the Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar airport and even ordered a diamond-studded pair of glasses for his girlfriend.
The financial irregularities were discovered when a sports department official noticed discrepancies and reported them to the authorities. The police have seized the luxury vehicles and are continuing their search for Kshirsagar, who remains at large. The authorities also suspect that more people may be involved in the massive fraud, and further investigations are underway.
Senior police officer Prashant Kadam confirmed that an FIR has been filed and that two individuals, Yashoda Shetty and BK Jeevan, have been arrested in connection with the crime. The investigation is ongoing, with efforts to track down the main accused and further uncover the scale of the operation.
