Bokaro: In a major breach of the state government’s ambitious Jharkhand Mukhyamantri Mainiya Samman Yojana (JMMSY), a fraudulent scheme application scam has been uncovered.
The Deputy Commissioner, Vijaya Jadhav, has instructed authorities to file an FIR after a physical verification process revealed that the same bank account number was used 95 times in applications submitted under different names.
According to official sources, the Social Security Department, under the direction of Deputy Commissioner Jadhav, found that a total of 95 applications were made from various blocks—67 from Chas Block (Chas Municipal Corporation area) and 28 from Gomia Block. All of these applications used the same bank account number: 100253387047, linked to an account holder named Yusuf, whose address is in Patagoda, Barakhanti, Uttardinajpur, West Bengal.
The applications were traced back to an ID number registered under CSC VLE Sumit Kumar from Medininagar, Daltenganj. Investigations revealed that fraudulent ration card numbers were also provided in these applications, which were confirmed as fake by the District Supply Officer. Additionally, the surnames “Kisku,” “Hansda,” and “Murmu” had been added to the names on the applications, likely to impersonate multiple individuals.
On November 21, 2024, several applications were submitted simultaneously, raising further suspicions. As a result, Deputy Commissioner Jadhav has ordered the registration of an FIR against the account holder. While some applications had already been approved at the BDO/CO level, the investigation continues, and preparations are underway to take legal action based on the findings.
