ED Attaches Assets in Madhya Pradesh Education 'Scam' Case
Imagine some people working for the government took money that was supposed to be used for schools and education.
They made fake bills to get the money and put it into their own bank accounts.
Then, they used the money to buy houses and other things to hide where it came from.
The government is trying to catch these people and get the money back.
The people involved took about 20 crore rupees through 917 fake bills.
The investigators are looking for more assets and trying to figure out where all the money went.
