BHOPAL: An administrative manager of private company Dilip Buildcon was arrested by Chuna Bhatti police for allegedly siphoning off around Rs 5 crore of the company in last two-and-a-half-year, police said on Monday.
Police station in-charge Nitin Sharma told Free Press that manager Navneet Kumar Sharma, a resident of Kolar, had been working with the company for more than four years.
The company had given a credit card to Navneet from which he used to pay the expenses on entertaining the guests visiting the Bhopal office. Navneet was supposed to deposit the bills against the expenses done on guests and various events.
