The US authorities have arrested an Indian-American government employee on the charge of “grand larceny” for allegedly working a “second, full-time job” during the hours he was being paid to perform his official duties as a state employee.

Mehul Goswami, 39, a resident of New York, was arrested last week. “Goswami is accused of working a second job in the town of Malta while on the clock and working remotely for the New York State Office of Information Technology Services. He allegedly stole in excess of $50,000 from the state,” the Sheriff's Office said.
