MGNREGA Mate Booked for Alleged Rs 1.25 Crore Financial Irregularities in Rohtak
Authorities in Rohtak's Samchana village have registered an FIR against Parveen Kumar, an MGNREGA mate, for alleged financial irregularities totaling around Rs 1.25 crore. The complaint, filed by Assistant Project Officer Suresh Devi, cites payments made to individuals who reportedly never worked under the scheme, including one deceased person. An inquiry found a pattern of MGNREGA wages being transferred to Kumar's linked UPI account shortly after beneficiary payments, suggesting possible fraud involving multiple cases.
