New Delhi: Economic Offences Wing of Delhi Police questioned three FIITJEE officials in connection with an investigation into the alleged financial irregularities involving the coaching company. Police sources said they questioned two senior officials of two coaching centres in the city while the third person was the accountant of the company.
The officials were asked about the financial irregularities, the chain of command within the institution and the money trail. Sources said the officials were also asked if they had any prior knowledge about the closure of the centres. Earlier, police questioned a senior official of the company.
EOW registered a case in March for criminal breach of trust, cheating, conspiracy and common intention. Lookout circulars against four key officials of coaching education company FIITJEE were issued as part of the investigation. Officers confirmed that 189 complainants alleged financial misconduct and irregularities in operations. Of these, 111 have been examined.
Sources said that to uncover potential misuse of funds, investigators obtained the company’s documents from Registrar of Companies. These documents are being scrutinised for discrepancies. Police have also requested for detailed transaction data from 48 bank accounts associated with FIITJEE. “We are in the process of collecting bank account details. Once we have the information, we will assess the roles of the people involved. This will help us confront them with evidence,” an officer said.
Recently, ED raided a FIITJEE branch in Sector 44 in Gurgaon and seven other sites there and in Delhi and Noida as part of an investigation into money laundering allegations against the management.
