IPS officer Bhagyashree Navtake: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has filed a case against IPS officer Bhagyashree Navtake, who has been accused of involvement in a Rs 1,200 crore scam. Navtake is alleged to have been part of a criminal conspiracy and forgery related to financial fraud, particularly during her investigation into the Bhaichand Hirachand Raisoni Credit Society scam in Jalgaon between 2020 and 2022.
The scam centered around cheating individuals by offering high returns on fixed deposits. According to reports, Navtake’s investigation into the fraud was compromised, and irregularities were found in her handling of the case. The CID report indicated serious procedural lapses, such as multiple cases being filed under a single crime number in one day and forged signatures of complainants who were not physically present.
She has been charged under several sections of the Indian Penal Code, including Section 474 (possession of forged documents), Section 466 (forgery), and Section 120-B (criminal conspiracy). The investigation is still ongoing, with authorities uncovering more details about her role in the scam that dates back to 2015.
