Madhya Pradesh High Court Orders Lokayukta Probe into MGNREGA Corruption in Jhabua
The Madhya Pradesh High Court's Indore bench has ordered a Lokayukta police investigation into alleged multi-crore corruption in MGNREGA works in Jhabua district. The scam involves fraudulent payments made using ghost muster rolls, including payments to deceased individuals and laborers who never worked. Complaints of inaction by district officials led the matter to the High Court. A specific case highlighted a deceased person's job card being used for payments years after their death. The District Panchayat CEO has formed a special investigation team to examine records from panchayats where fraudulent withdrawals were reported in 2020.
