Four Sentenced in Mizoram Subsidy Fraud Case; 13 Acquitted by Special Court
A special court in Aizawl sentenced four businessmen to two years in prison and fined them Rs 1.5 lakh each for their roles in a multi-crore subsidy fraud involving Mizo Carbon Products Limited. The firm was found guilty of fraudulently obtaining central government subsidies under the Central Transport Subsidy and Central Capital Investment Subsidy schemes by submitting forged documents. Thirteen other accused, mostly government employees, were acquitted due to insufficient evidence. The case originated from a 2017 public interest litigation alleging misuse of subsidies.
