According to police, the cases were registered on the complaint filed by Sunil Kumar Malik, Additional Project Manager of the Dehradun unit of the Uttar Pradesh Rajkiya Nirman Nigam.

He told the police that departmental investigations revealed financial irregularities of crores of rupees between 2018 and 2019.

Those booked include Shiv Asare Sharma, the then project manager from Azamgarh in Uttar Pradesh, Pradeep Kumar Sharma, the then project manager from Punjabi Bagh in Delhi, Virendra Kumar Ravi, assistant accountant level 2 from Bijnor in Uttar Pradesh, Ram Prakash Gupta, an accountant from Hardoi in Uttar Pradesh and Satish Kumar Upadhyay, a resident engineer from Pratapgarh in Uttar Pradesh.

The complainant told the police that Uttarakhand’s Skill Development and Service Scheme Department had released a lump sum of ₹15.17 crore for 15 government industrial training institutes in the state, out of which six institutes could not be built due to non-availability of land.

However, the amount released for them, about ₹6 crore, was spent on the works of other departments and their adjustment has not been done to date, Malik told the police.

Similarly, despite not getting land for disaster relief centres, ₹4.28 crore received for their construction work was allegedly embezzled.
