MOHALI: Punjab Vigilance Bureau arrested a public distribution clerk of Punjab State Civil Supplies Corporation Limited (PUNSUP) for his alleged involvement in the embezzlement of wheat bags and other objects worth Rs 2.57 crore from a godown in Mohali last year.
The accused has been identified as Gurmeet Singh, who was working as a clerk in PUNSUP, Mohali, and was absconding ever since a case was lodged against him in March. This is the second arrest in the scam. In October, a clerk named Sunil Kumar was arrested from Dera Bassi. Two other accused in the scam are PUNSUP district manager Inder Mohan Singh and clerk Rajiv Sood, who are still on the run.
Gurmeet was arrested from his village Baroli on Thursday and was produced before the court, which sent him to two days' police remand.
