Three Booked for Alleged Fraud in Palghar Farmer's Port Project CompensationPreviousNext

In Maharashtra's Palghar district, police have registered a case against three individuals accused of fraudulently withdrawing Rs 50.27 lakh from tribal farmer Kiran Pandu Palava's land compensation for the Vadhvan Port project. The farmer's agricultural land was acquired for the port, and Rs 2.91 crore was credited to his account. The accused allegedly exploited the farmer's illiteracy to obtain signatures and manipulate banking details, leading to unauthorized withdrawals. Authorities have launched an investigation and advised the public to safeguard sensitive banking information.
