The arrested individuals have been identified as Dikshant Anand of Rehmbal, Udhampur; Narinder Chopra of Lakhdata Bazar, Jammu; and Amit Sharma of Preet Nagar, Jammu. All three were employees of Jammu Flour Mills, working as Area Salesman, Billing Clerk, and Accountant respectively.
A Crime Branch official said their arrest followed a complaint filed by Arun Mahajan, Managing Partner of the firm, alleging that the trio had conspired to siphon off between Rs 2 crore to Rs 2.5 crore from the company.
He said a detailed audit was conducted by a Chartered Accountant on the direction of the complainant, which uncovered shocking details about the scam.
The accused, according to him, had been diverting NEFT payments to unrelated parties, under-billing cash transactions, and embezzling large sums.
“They also created fake customer accounts and sold goods under false names, while recovering and misappropriating dues from real clients,” he said.
According to the CB official, the audit also revealed that the accused had transferred payments belonging to the company into the bank accounts of their relatives and friends.
SSP Crime Jammu, Benam Tosh, confirmed the arrest of the accused in FIR number 06/2025 after the charges against them were substantiated.
According to him, further interrogation of the accused is underway.
