ED files money laundering case against ex-ASI in NPS scam
The ED has filed a prosecution complaint against a former CISF official in a National Pension Scheme fraud case involving diversion of Rs 60.26 lakh. The court has taken cognisance, while assets worth Rs 80.26 lakh have been attached
Hyderabad: The Directorate of Enforcement (ED), Hyderabad zone, has filed a prosecution complaint before a Rangareddy court against Roop Singh Meena, a former Assistant Sub-Inspector and ministerial staff of the CISF at the National Industrial Security Academy (NISA), in connection with a National Pension Scheme (NPS) fraud. The court has taken cognisance of the case.
The case stems from an FIR registered by Telangana Police in April 2023, alleging that Meena dishonestly diverted NPS contributions of CISF personnel by altering bank account details linked to Permanent Retirement Account numbers.
Police alleged that the funds were fraudulently withdrawn through premature withdrawal requests while Meena had full access to NPS accounts during his attachment at the NPS section of NISA.
According to the ED, an amount of Rs 60.26 lakh was embezzled and laundered through multiple bank accounts, including those of family members and acquaintances. The proceeds were allegedly used for personal expenses, including marriage costs, medical treatment, clearing debts and business investments. The case was taken over by the CBI, ACB, Hyderabad in June 2025.
The ED earlier attached movable and immovable properties worth Rs 80.26 lakh in the case.
