UP Health Scheme Scam: ₹9.94 Crore Fraud Exposed
A health program designed to help people pay for medical care in Uttar Pradesh was tricked.
Some people stole passwords and pretended to pay for thousands of people who didn't need treatment.
These fraudsters made the program pay out a lot of money it shouldn't have.
Now, the government is trying to find out who did it and how they did it.
They are also promising to punish the people involved.
This is bad because it takes money away from the healthcare program.
A ₹9.94 crore fraud was discovered within the Ayushman Bharat health schemes in Uttar Pradesh.
Fraudsters used stolen login credentials to make fraudulent payments.
The scam involved 6,239 fake beneficiaries across 39 hospitals.
Official email IDs were misused to facilitate unauthorized transactions.
