Jhunjhunu : In Rajasthan’s Jhunjhunu district, a Gram Vikas Adhikari has committed a fraud of 80 lakh rupees in just 16 months of service.

The police have started searching for the absconding officer. However, whoever heard this story is surprised. Because in such a short time, while the employee is not able to fully understand the work of the department, he has committed a fraud of 80 lakh rupees.
Adopted a shortcut to become rich
It is being told that the accused Gram Vikas Adhikari had adopted this shortcut to get rich quickly. But he was caught. He had made his own wife and acquaintances lakhpatis by transferring money to their accounts. However, now the secret is out. In such a situation, the police will also recover the money from everyone.
50 lakh fraud done in development fund
Siddharth Khichad, Gram Vikas Adhikari posted in Patusari and Nayasar Gram Panchayats of Jhunjhunu district of Rajasthan, has committed a fraud of Rs 80 lakh in just 16 months of service. It is alleged that he transferred Rs 50 lakh of Nayasar and Rs 30 lakh of Patusari Panchayat from the Panchayat’s development fund to the account of his wife and an acquaintance.
Sarpanchs lodged FIR
The Sarpanchs of both the Gram Panchayats have lodged a police complaint in this matter. Nayasar Sarpanch Roshan Manju has accused Siddharth Khichad of embezzling Rs 50 lakh and Patusari Sarpanch has accused him of embezzling Rs 30 lakh. Siddharth Khichad transferred the money from a single ID, due to which the Sarpanchs did not even receive the OTP and they did not come to know about it. This money was transferred several times, but both the Sarpanchs did not even know about it. Later when the balance sheets were matched, the Sarpanchs were shocked.
Panchayat committee suspended
Panchayat Samiti’s BDO Mamta Chaudhary has suspended Siddharth Khichad. A three-member committee has been formed to investigate the matter. It is said that Siddharth Khichad is also associated with some big BJP leaders. Now the police is preparing to arrest Siddharth. Along with this, preparations have also begun to recover the money from the people in whose accounts the money has been transferred. If they are also found guilty, they will also have to go to jail.
