Special Prosecutor Appointed in Bodeli Fake Office Case
Imagine someone made a fake government office to steal money.
This fake office pretended to be a real one that does construction work for the government.
They sent fake requests for money for projects, and the government gave them over 4 crore rupees.
It was all a trick.
The real office found out, and now they're trying to figure out who did it and get the money back.
A special lawyer has been assigned to help with the case.
They are trying to find everyone involved and make them pay for what they did.
