Former and serving welfare officials, agents and ineligible beneficiaries accused of misusing Dr BR Ambedkar Awas Navinikaran Yojana funds
A fake office in Sirsa, posing as a welfare service, was exposed for charging fees for government schemes like the Vivah Shagun and Lado Scheme. The office, run by Rammehar of Hisar, impersonated government officials using a blue beacon vehicle. No arrests have been made, but an FIR was registered.
Over 50,000 Haryana family IDs had unauthorized occupational changes, approved by three CRID officials in Jhajjar and Nuh. Seven individuals have been arrested. The investigation aims to determine if these changes enabled illegal access to government welfare schemes, violating verification protocols.
A CRID official in Karnal allegedly sold his login credentials to CSC operators. They used these to illegally alter details in around 300 Parivar Pehchan Patra (PPP) family IDs for bribes, enabling fraudulent access to welfare schemes.
