                                2. The petitioner apprehends arrest in connection with

                   Sadar P.S. Case No. 780 of 2025 registered for offences under

                                3. As per the prosecution case, the petitioner is

                   accused of embezzling Rs. 11,53,392.85 while managing the

                   informant’s petrol pump. It is alleged that he falsified account

                   records by showing fake petrol deliveries to Maniari Police

                   Station. Upon detection of the discrepancies, the petitioner

                   allegedly deleted relevant computer data and removed records to

                   conceal the embezzlement.
