Agency (Bengaluru): Allegations of embezzlement, involving millions of rupees designated for community service during the 2021 COVID-19 first wave, continue to haunt the former president, Sanjay Garg, former secretary Vijay Saraf, and former treasurer Dinesh Jhuria of the Agarwal Samaj Karnataka. Despite the accusations of
misappropriating funds, no action has been taken against them.
Efforts by the current leadership to address the issue have been met with resistance, allegedly due to pressure from influential former officials and senior members within the community. This resistance has led to frustration among the current officials, with Mahaveer Prasad Gupta, the president, resigning from his position. Several others
followed suit, but their resignations have yet to be accepted.
In a peculiar twist, the accused individuals are now accusing those demanding accountability of destabilising society and threatening expulsion. This has caused a leadership crisis within the community, with some officials and members reluctant to hold the accused accountable, instead choosing to vilify those advocating for
justice.
Despite attempts to discuss the matter with society official Sanjay Kumar Tayal, he staunchly defended Sanjay Garg and dismissed the allegations of corruption. He even threatened expulsion for those pushing for action against the accused.
Meanwhile, rather than addressing the corruption issue, some individuals are attempting to form a new Agarwal society in Bengaluru. However, dedicated community members believe justice should prevail before moving forward.
Unaddressed corruption allegations against Satish Jain in Agarsen Hospital The corruption allegations within the Agarwal community have extended to Maharaja Agarsen Hospital, where accusations against Satish Jain remain unresolved.
Instead of taking decisive action against him, the trusteeship was merely transferred to his daughter, leaving many members disillusioned. Some senior members are accused of manipulating and deceiving ordinary
members, further exacerbating the situation.
