Manjinder Sirsa booked for DSGMC fund embezzlement

New Delhi, January 22

Following a direction by a city court, the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of the Delhi Police has registered a case of cheating against SAD leader and DSGMC president Manjinder Sirsa. The action comes following a complaint accusing him of causing wrongful loss of around 1 crore to the DSGMC.

A senior police official said an FIR was registered against Sirsa. A Delhi court had in November last year directed the EOW to register an FIR against Sirsa for alleged misappropriation of funds during his tenure as the secretary general of the DSGMC.

The case against Sirsa and others was registered on Thursday for cheating and embezzlement of gurdwara funds by making unjustified payments. Terming it a witch-hunt, Sirsa produced a purported Delhi Police statement in a court which said ‘no foul play’ had been found against Sirsa. The statement is signed by the SHO of North Avenue police station. — TNS
