Chandigarh, April 2
In a major breakthrough in the multi-crore fraud case linked to CREST in Sector 19, Chandigarh Police have arrested Sahil Kukkar, the head of the accounts department. The action was taken in connection with a case registered at the EOPS Police Station, Sector 17, under relevant sections of the BNS.
The case was initiated following a complaint by the CEO of CREST, alleging a fraud of approximately ₹83 crore. The आरोप were also made against officials of IDFC FIRST Bank—Abhay Kumar, Seema Dhiman, and Ribhav Rishi.
During the investigation, it was revealed that Sahil Kukkar’s mobile number was linked to CREST’s IDFC First Bank account, through which all transaction-related SMS alerts were received. His role in the alleged fabrication of bank statements is also under scrutiny.
After his arrest, Kukkar was presented before the duty magistrate, who remanded him to two days of police custody. He is scheduled to be produced in court again on April 3.
Meanwhile, the police are continuing further investigation to trace the money trail involved in the case.
