Mhow (Pithampur)
An accountant of a reputed submersible pump manufacturing unit was arrested for defrauding the company of Rs 2 cr and spending the amount to play the online game Zubair - an online gambling game.
CSP Tarunendra Singh Baghel said they arrested Raghav Rajput (34), an accountant at Shakti Pump (Sector 1, Pithampur) from his house in Sampat Hill Indore, following a complaint by the company management.
He had been working in the company for the last 14 years. Baghel said Rajput told them that he was addicted to gambling and was contemplating suicide when the police came to arrest him.
