US Club embezzlement case: HC refuses pre-arrest bail to former deputy secretary
MUMBAI: The Bombay high court on Monday rejected the anticipatory bail plea of the main accused in the alleged embezzlement of around ₹77.52 crore from the defence-run United Services Club, popularly known as the US Club, in Colaba. A single judge bench of justice Rajesh Patil rejected the pre-arrest bail plea of the Bernadette Varma, the club's former deputy finance secretary, in which she allegedly admitted that she had purchased 21 properties in Mumbai—14 flats and seven shops—in her and her husband's name, and luxury cars like a Range Rover, a Mercedes and an MG Hector from the embezzled funds. Her bail plea said that she later sold the cars and then invested over ₹8 crore in fixed deposits and other financial instruments through consultants. Justice Patil rejected the plea, saying she had failed to make a case for the court to grant protection. Varma and two others, including the auditor appointed by the defence-run club, were booked in February based on a complaint lodged by Captain Vishnusaurabh Sharma, the club's secretary. According to the complaint, the accused were allegedly involved in fraudulent activities between January 2005 and October 2024 that resulted in financial losses worth ₹77.52 crore for the club, which is jointly managed by the Indian Army, Navy, and Air Force. Captain Sharma told the police that when he perused the club's balance sheet prepared by Varma for the financial year 2023-24, which was to be submitted to the club's chartered accountant, he noticed that the value of the liquor stock mentioned in the document was quite high. When he inquired about the high liquor stock, he was told that there had been a mistake in maintaining the stock records, as the liquor was sourced from different places at various rates. The club then asked a chartered accountancy firm, CP Pandey and Company, to undertake a special audit. However, the firm's audit report in August 2024 did not raise any issues related to the liquor stock, nor any other financial irregularities. Meanwhile, Varma resigned from her job citing health reasons and was eventually relieved in October 2024. The fraud came to light in January 2025 when the club's president received an anonymous letter revealing huge financial irregularities in the club's operation. The letter added that Varma had transferred ₹11 crore to CP Pandey and Co between August 5 and October 9, 2024. According to Captain Sharma's complaint, when he confronted Varma about the allegations made in the letter, she accepted that she had transferred the amount and also shared the details on WhatsApp. A further investigation by the club revealed that during her tenure, Varma had allegedly opened several bank accounts in the names of the club's vendors and misappropriated around ₹77 crore by transferring money to these bank accounts.

3 killed, 5 injured after car collision on NH-19 in Faridabad
Three men were killed and five others critically injured in a high-speed collision between two cars at JCB Chowk near Faridabad Sector 55 on National Highway 19 around 2am on Saturday, police said. The crash involved a Maruti Suzuki Ertiga with five occupants and an MG Hector carrying three siblings. The deceased, all of whom were traveling in the Ertiga, have been identified as Trivender Singh, 28, of Krishna Colony; Manish Kumar, 30, of Banchari; and Deepanshu Kumar, 25, of Bhaguri— all residents of Palwal. The five injured were Satpal Singh, 28, of Bathen, Mathura; Bhupender, 27, of Narhawali, Faridabad, travelling in the Ertiga; and siblings Sahil, Somya, and Anshika—all in their mid-20s and residents of Sector 16, Faridabad, who were in the Hector. While Satpal and Bhupender were undergoing treatment at a private hospital in Faridabad, the siblings were shifted to a Delhi hospital. All five are stated to be in critical condition, police said. Inspector Vinod Kumar Yadav, station house officer of Sector 58 police station, said the five Ertiga occupants were JCB India Limited employees returning home after a shift at the company's NH-19 headquarters. 'The Ertiga had barely moved 300 metres and was negotiating a right turn onto the highway when the speeding Hector rammed it on the driver's side,' said Yadav. 'Both vehicles overturned multiple times after the collision, and the Hector caught fire,' he added. Locals and passersby alerted the police control room and helped extricate the injured from the mangled vehicles. All eight victims were rushed to Badshah Khan Civil Hospital, where three were declared dead, police said. Police said Sahil was driving the Hector and was heading home to Sector 16 from Sikri, Ballabhgarh. Satpal was behind the wheel of the Ertiga and was driving towards Palwal. 'Prima facie, it appears that Hector was speeding and failed to slow down before the intersection, resulting in the crash,' said Yadav. The bodies of the deceased were handed over to their families after post-mortem examinations at the civil hospital. An FIR under sections 106 (causing death by negligence) and 281 (rash driving) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita was registered against Sahil at Sector 58 police station, based on Bhupender's statement, officers aware of the case said.
