Another case of fraudulent activity in the MGNREGA scheme came to light in Madhya Pradesh, where the sarpanch, secretary, and assistant of Jhirnya district Piparkheda Naka Panchayat had used pictures of Bollywood actress to create fake job cards of the scheme beneficiaries.
In one of the job cards with the name Monu Dubey, the picture of film actress Deepika Padukone was used. Another beneficiary named Sonu had a picture of Jacqueline Fernandez in it.
The fake job cards were also being used to take out money from accounts.
The matter was highlighted after the actual beneficiaries were not getting the amount santioned by the government. On investigation, the authorities recovered dozens of such fake job cards with pictures of Bollywood actress in it.
