Bhopal: 3 Booked For Swindling Funds Worth ₹15 Crore

Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): Three employees of a food company in Arera colony sold products to customers at a lesser price and made profit unauthorisedly. A top company official has registered a case against the trio, the police said.

On Wednesday, he approached Habibganj police station and lodged a case against the trio. SHO Bhadoria said that probe was on in the case after which action would be taken against the accused.
