Tarn Taran, July 18: Welfare payments intended for dozens of rural families were safely secured after state checkers flagged an unauthorized attempt to alter banking details within the Mavan-Dhian Satkar Scheme. Law enforcement officers have booked an Anganwadi field worker and her son following allegations that the son’s personal bank account was substituted into sixty-two distinct beneficiary files.
The administrative action followed an alert generated during regular digital processing prior to the scheduled release of the monthly direct benefit transfers. Departmental supervisors noticed that dozens of independent applications from the Chohla Sahib block were routed toward an identical financial outlet, prompting an immediate freeze on the batch.
According to institutional reports, the field worker had permitted her son to assist with the digital uploading of citizen profiles from Bhail Dhaewala village. The subsequent investigation indicated that the individual systematically entered his own banking coordinates across the forms to intercept the state funds.
Following an official review, the Child Development Project Office moved to lodge a formal criminal complaint, leading Goindwal Sahib police to register a comprehensive case under multiple sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.
Supervising officers declared that institutional verification procedures functioned precisely as intended to safeguard public assets.
“The beneficiaries would receive the financial assistance in their own bank accounts after the records are corrected and verified,” affirmed Child Development Project Officer Navekta Kuvra during an update on the corrective measures.
The state department has deployed specialized staff to cross-reference the affected records against original field documents. Authorities maintained that the review will conclude quickly to ensure that legitimate recipients experience minimal delays in receiving their direct financial assistance.
