Embezzlement of funds amounting to over Rs 21 lakh under the MGNREGA scheme has come to the fore in Nuh district of Haryana with police finding some job cards issued in the name of dead people. Police registered a case against nine people, including employees of the Panchayat and Irrigation Department and two bank officials. Local villager Sukhbir Singh had filed a series of complaints to the government's public grievances and Haryana CM window portals, alleging that under the MGNREGA scheme in Nuh, funds are being released to people who had died about two-three years ago. By making their job cards and opening their bank accounts illegally, a massive scam is taking place, it was alleged.
