Minister's Son in Custody for MNREGA Scam
The son of a minister, Kiran Khabad, is in trouble again.
He was arrested for issues with a job program called MNREGA, where it seems some work was faked.
This is happening in a village called Lavariya.
Even though he was let out on bail in an earlier case about a similar issue, he was arrested again and now must stay with the police for seven days.
The police are also checking 32 companies that worked on the projects.
Kiran Khabad, son of a state minister, was remanded to seven days of police custody.
The arrest is related to a second FIR concerning the MNREGA scam in Dahod.
Kiran had previously been granted bail in an earlier case involving Rs 71 crore.
The new case involves irregularities in 21 MNREGA projects in Lavariya village.
Police are investigating 32 agencies, some reportedly linked to the Khabad brothers.
