Guwahati: In a sensational development, the Delhi Police counter-intelligence unit in collaboration with Assam Police arrested renowned Vastu expert and author Khushdeep Bansal in connection with alleged irregularities of Rs. 65 crore in Assam.

Police said that Bansal and his associates have been accused of siphoning off funds from the government using false work orders.

Kamal Sabarwal, the owner of the Delhi-based Sabarwal Trading Company, filed a complaint against Bansal.

Bansal reportedly told the Delhi Police that all he had done was introduce an individual to Kamal Sabarwal.

Simultaneously, Assam Police claim that all the accused collaborated in orchestrating the elaborate scam that has now come to the forefront.

Delhi Police said raids were conducted at Bansal’s house in Sainik Farm, and on Tuesday, he and his brother Harish were arrested from Barakhamba Road in New Delhi.

The arrest came after the Assam Police approached the Delhi Police earlier this week with a non-bailable warrant issued against Bansal in the alleged scam.

Following the arrest, the Assam Police team took Bansal on transit remand, for questioning.

During his initial interrogation, Bansal allegedly told the police that he only knew two individuals involved in irregularities, but he did not cheat anyone. A police officer aware of the matter, however, said that Bansal’s role (in the alleged scam) is bigger, adding that he was in touch with all the associates in Assam.
