Fraud Investigation · Insurance
Fire damage claim investigation at a textile manufacturing unit in Punjab
An insurer suspected a fabricated fire loss claim of ₹4.2 crore. Our team conducted discreet on-ground interviews, reviewed procurement records and traced the movement of allegedly destroyed stock. Evidence of pre-arranged stock removal was documented.
Insurer rejected the claim on the basis of our findings. Matter referred to the appropriate authority.
Corporate Investigation · Embezzlement
Embezzlement investigation at a regional distributor of an FMCG multinational

Recovery proceedings initiated. Internal controls updated based on findings to prevent recurrence.
Corporate Investigation · Whistle-blower
Whistle-blower allegation review at a mid-size technology services company
An anonymous complaint alleged that a senior manager was directing contracts to a related-party vendor. Our investigation independently verified the commercial relationship, beneficial ownership structure and the pattern of contract awards — without alerting the subject.
