Accused falsely proved presence of orchards on his land to claim land acquisition compensation: VB
CHANDIGARH: The Punjab Vigilance Bureau (VB) has apprehended Sukhdev Singh of Chandigarh, one of the key co-accused in the ‘guava orchard scam’ that took place in Bakarpur village in SAS Nagar district in 2016-17.
The accused had fraudulently received approximately ₹12 crore in compensation in his and his wife’s accounts in “collusion with government officials and other individuals”. The amount has been recovered, the VB said.
An official spokesperson of the VB said Sukhdev, on the run since 2023, played an active role in the criminal conspiracy, indulging in cheating, forgery and falsification of records, thereby causing wrongful loss to the state exchequer while obtaining illicit financial gains through bribery.
