Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar:
In the scam involving the Divisional Sports Complex, Harsh Kumar Kshirsagar, opened a total of 24 bank accounts to embezzle crores of rupees. He opened these accounts not only in his own name but also in the names of his girlfriend, Yashoda Shetty, her husband Jeevan, and several others. The police are currently gathering information about these bank account holders, and it is strongly suspected that they will also be charged as accused in the case.
The scam, which was exposed on Saturday, has sent shockwaves through the entire sports department. The silence maintained by the officials of the sports department has raised several questions. Meanwhile, in the investigation over the past five days, the police have gathered information regarding the assets of Harsh Kumar Kshirsagar and other accused. Based on this, the police have issued written orders to a construction businessman who owns flats, the society manager, and showroom management to provide complete details of Harsh Kumar’s transactions. Besides, letters have been sent to the banks requesting full details of the 24 account holders. Assistant Police Inspector Mohsin Syed, Dnyaneshwar Awhad and PSI Ashok Awchar are investigating the case.
What does the order state?

-Submit details of the purchase and sales transactions of the three individuals, along with receipts and statements to the showroom management.
