Telangana HC clears businessman in Rs 40L Deccan Club fraud case in Secunderabad
HYDERABAD: The Telangana high court has quashed criminal proceedings against a West Bengal-based businessman who was named as one of the prime accused in a financial fraud case involving the Deccan Club in Secunderabad. The case, registered in 2017 at Tukaramgate police station, revolved around the alleged misappropriation of approximately 40 lakh by former staff members of the club, including the system administrator and the accountant. The accused were alleged to have manipulated the club's accounting software to divert cash payments made by members, effectively siphoning off funds that were never reflected in the club's accounts. The businessman, who had no official or managerial role in the club, was named in the chargesheet solely on the basis of a confession by another accused, who claimed he had received a portion of the embezzled funds.

The chargesheet, she noted, contained contradictions, including uncertainty over whether the funds were received by the petitioner himself or his father-in-law. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Abiti in una casa indipendente?

Accordingly, the judge quashed all charges against the petitioner and closed the pending miscellaneous applications related to the matter. According to the prosecution, the petitioner allegedly used the diverted money to purchase heavy vehicles. However, the defense argued that the petitioner was wrongfully implicated, and there was no direct link between him and the financial operations of the club. The fraud came to light during an internal audit, which exposed how the accused insiders cancelled original cash payment entries in the system and re-entered them as credit or debit card transactions. This tactic created a false reconciliation of accounts while ensuring that actual cash never reached the club's coffers.
