Pauri Garhwal, Uttarakhand, June 2025 – In a major breakthrough, Pauri Police have unearthed a meticulously orchestrated financial scam amounting to approximately ₹2.5 crore within the GMOU Limited (Garhwal Motor Owners Union) office in Kotdwar. Acting swiftly and effectively, the police arrested nine individuals, including former officers and current employees, for their involvement in the embezzlement.
