Salesman Offers Cash for Ration in Shivpuri
In a village in Madhya Pradesh, a man who works at a government shop that gives out cheap food grains to poor people was caught on video.
He was giving money to villagers instead of the food they were supposed to get.
He offered ₹20 for every kilogram of food they gave up.
This happened because the villagers did not get their food for many months.
People are upset and want the government to investigate and punish those responsible.
A salesman in Shivpuri, Madhya Pradesh, was caught on camera offering ₹20 per kg to villagers in exchange for their low-priced ration.
165 Antyodaya and BPL families in Bilara village did not receive their allotted ration from June 2025 to November 2025.
The accused salesman, Nilesh Sharma, distributed cash during a public meeting in the village.
The incident has raised concerns about the functioning of the Public Distribution System (PDS) in the area.
Locals have demanded a proper inquiry and strict action against those responsible after the video surfaced online.
