A case of big scam and fraud worth crores of rupees has come to light under the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana in Pratapgarh district of Uttar Pradesh. The police and investigation team have arrested three main accused, exposing the racket of embezzling government funds by making fake registrations in the name of the scheme. After this entire fraud came to light, there was a stir in the administrative department.
Let us tell you that, taking immediate action in the case, the police has arrested CSC operator Shivkumar Yadav, contract VRC operator Anurag Gupta and another accused Jitendra Kumar. 2 laptops, 5 mobile phones and biometric fingerprint devices have been recovered from the arrested accused, which were used to register as eligible on the basis of fake documents. According to the investigating officers, the money of the scheme was embezzled by adding the names of ineligible people through fraudulent means.
The seriousness of this matter can be gauged from the fact that a case has been registered against more than 3 lakh people for making fake registrations. Joint teams of police and agriculture department are now busy finding clues about other people associated with the gang and their entire network. The administration says that no culprit will be spared and the money embezzled through fraud will be recovered.
