A case of more than Rs 4 crore defrauding has come to light in the field of milk business to the country’s leading company ‘Amul.’ The fraud has not been done by an employee of the company along with his wife.
After the matter came to light, a complaint has been lodged with the police in this regard. Anil Bayati, General Manager of Gujarat Co-operative Milk Marketing Federation (GCMMF or Amul), filed the complaint on Wednesday, according to Ahmedabad Police.
It was reported that the fraud was discovered during the audit. It was found that MU Transport Company received a payment of Rs 4.02 crore from Amul based on duplicate copies of original bills.
The complaint claims that the MU Transport Committee is registered in Vyas’ name. Mitti is Ujjwal Vyas’s wife. And Ujjwal works for Amul as an assistant manager in the fresh product department. Between 2010 and 2022, Ujjwal and his wife committed the fraud.
It was also stated in the complaint that Amul’s employees and close relatives are prohibited from doing business with the company due to Amul’s rules and regulations. In this way, Ujjwal has also broken the company’s rules.
The accused, Ujjwal, is said to have confessed his crime. He is suspected of forming a fictitious company in his wife’s name. After that, between 2010 and 2022, he deposited about Rs 4.5 crore in the wife’s account by using that fake company as a means.
The Gujarat Police have taken further action by filing a case under Indian Penal Code sections 420 (fraud), 471 (tampering with real bills), and 120B (criminal conspiracy).
