- An FIR was filed under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita provisions for fraud, theft, dishonest misappropriation of property, and criminal breach of trust.
- Aman admitted withdrawing ₹42,99,000 from the cash vault and wrote on January 5 that he deposited the money into his wife’s bank account on multiple dates.
- Finance reconciliation for April–December 2025 flagged a cash shortfall, leading to a January 4 surprise vault verification that uncovered the deficit.
