Former Gujarat Minister and co-op dairy chairman held for misappropriating funds

Gujarat’s Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) on Thursday arrested former Gujarat Minister of State for Home and former Chairman of the Mehsana District Milk Producing Federation, Vipul Chaudhary, for allegedly misappropriating ₹750 crore pertaining to the dairy.

On Wednesday, the ACB in Mehsana lodged a new FIR naming Mr. Chaudhary, his wife and son, and his Chartered Accountant (CA), for their alleged involvement in financial irregularities when he was Chairman of the Dudhsagar dairy a few years ago.

His arrest comes at a time when a political front, Arbuda Sena, floating by him, has been campaigning in north Gujarat ahead of the State Assembly polls.
