Police in Mohali, Punjab, India, have charged Simranjit Singh, alias Robin Singh, a former employee of Essoftek Solutions Private Limited (now Aptrix IT Solutions), with stealing 14 laptops and sensitive data. The incident occurred on August 12, 2025, when Singh and other employees resigned without notice, taking the laptops and critical data with them. Managing Director Akshay Tiwari alleged that Singh misused the stolen data to establish a competing company and attempted to poach clients. The investigation revealed that the dispute originated from non-payment of salary, categorizing it as a civil matter. However, the unauthorized removal and misuse of company property constitute a criminal offense. Singh has been booked under Section 316 (2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and Sections 43 and 66 of the IT Act, with the roles of other accused individuals still under investigation.
