Man Arrested in CMRF Cheque Fraud Investigation
Someone has been arrested for taking money from a fund that helps people pay for medical bills.
This person is suspected of being part of a group that stole money from the fund, cheating many people.
It was discovered when someone who should have gotten money didn't, and found out someone had already cashed a check in their name.
Now, the police are looking into who else was involved in this scheme.
Police arrested a man from Andhra Pradesh for allegedly encashing CMRF cheques illegally.
The man is suspected of involvement in a gang that defrauded at least 50 CMRF beneficiaries in Telangana.
The fraud was discovered after a Kodad applicant complained about not receiving aid.
A cheque for ₹1.5 lakh was issued and cashed in the applicant's name in August 2023.
Police are investigating the involvement of a personal assistant, a person from Munugala, and a Secretariat employee.
