Bihar Police Arrest Gang for Fraud in Govt Scheme
Imagine some bad guys pretended to be helpers for a government program that gives houses to people.
They went around promising free houses but tricked people, especially women, into giving them their jewelry.
They would say they needed photos for the program and asked the women to remove their jewelry.
While the women weren't looking, they'd run off with the jewelry.
The police caught the bad guys and found lots of stolen jewelry and money.
Now, the bad guys are in trouble, and the police want everyone to be careful and not fall for such tricks.
Police in Chapra, Bihar, arrested individuals involved in a gang that cheated people under the guise of a government scheme.
The gang posed as NGO workers and promised benefits from the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY).
The accused would convince women to remove jewelry under the pretense of photo collection for the housing scheme and then flee with the valuables.
The police recovered 808.31 grams of gold, 1060.10 grams of silver, and Rs 53.30 lakh in cash during raids.
