He said that the investigator sent Shahnawaz, the Rs 350 crore fraud culprit, to jail after setting him up and that he is not even being held in custody.

SSP Rohit Singh Sajwan informed the MP that he would take the culprits into custody as soon as possible and recover the false documents. According to the MP, Shahnawaz, a computer operator in the supply department, stole Rs 350 crore. There are 20 cases filed against the accused.
