DSP Alok Ranjan was also present during the press conference.
SP Harvinder Singh stated that the accused, Kaushal Kumar Pandey, carried out 63 fraudulent transactions amounting to ₹4,29,71,007 over three financial years (2023–24 to 2025–26). The fraud was executed by manipulating official records and misusing the identity of a government employee who had retired in 2016.

Police have registered a case under relevant provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and stated that further investigation is underway to trace any wider nexus and fix accountability.
