fund misappropriation

The BJD has accused postal department employees in Koraput and Nabarangpur of a Rs 50 crore scam under MGNREGS and welfare schemes. They allege fraudulent transactions and manipulation of beneficiary records. The ruling BJP dismissed the claims as politically motivated, promising a fair investigation and action against any guilty parties.

Kandhamal district administration has suspended an additional data entry operator and a panchayat executive officer for allegedly misappropriating Rs 38 lakh meant for MGNREGS projects. Investigations revealed payments were made without project execution. The collector is seeking action against engineers and others involved, with a fortnight deadline for fund recovery.

In a shocking revelation, a Rs 45 lakh scandal has erupted at IGIMS, Patna, where four contracted workers stand accused of exploiting the Ayushman Bharat scheme. Reportedly, they manipulated patient lists, siphoning off cash payments meant for eligible patients over several months.

A contracted worker at Jamnagar Govt Dental College and Hospital has been booked for allegedly embezzling over Rs 1.36 crore. Shobhit Garg reportedly fudged cheques for patient welfare and workers' pay over a five-month period, diverting funds into his personal account. The embezzlement was discovered by a bank manager who noticed unusual credits.

In a startling turn of events, authorities in Tripura apprehended five individuals, including police constables and a TSR jawan, tied to a deceitful scheme that exploited public funds. The investigation was ignited by a shocking viral video featuring a constable flaunting an extraordinary amount of cash.
