Digital Desk
According to the complaint, the incident occurred at Rama Motocorp Private Limited, a Tata Motors truck dealership located in the Dhanely area under the Khamtarai police station limits. The accused, Munir Ahmed, was employed as a manager at the firm and was responsible for overseeing the billing and dispatch of vehicle parts.
The complainant, Ketan Chaudhary, who serves as the General Manager (Parts) at the dealership, told the police that Ahmed had been entrusted with handling inventory and billing operations. Between 2020 and 2025, the accused allegedly carried out systematic manipulation of parts billing, diverting company funds for personal gain.
The fraud came to light when the dealership conducted a routine audit of its accounts. The audit report revealed discrepancies amounting to over ₹70 lakh. When questioned internally, Ahmed allegedly stopped reporting to the office and became unreachable, prompting the management to escalate the matter.
Following the audit findings, the General Manager informed the company’s directors. Acting on their instructions, a formal complaint was lodged at the Khamtarai police station against the former manager. Based on the complaint, police have registered a case and initiated an investigation.
Police officials said they are examining financial records, billing data, and audit reports to ascertain the exact modus operandi and the total amount involved. “The dealership management has submitted relevant documents. The matter is under investigation, and appropriate legal action will be taken based on the findings,” a police officer associated with the probe said.
Investigators are also trying to determine whether the alleged misappropriation was carried out independently or if others were involved. Efforts are being made to trace the accused and record his statement.
The case has raised concerns about internal financial controls and oversight in commercial establishments, particularly those dealing with high-value inventory and transactions. Police officials said further developments are expected as the investigation progresses.
