Rs 120 crore pension scam uncovered in Chitrakoot; 99 booked, SIT probe underway

Chitrakoot, Oct 17 (UNI) A massive pension scam amounting to Rs 120 crore has been unearthed in Chitrakoot, Uttar Pradesh, exposing deep-rooted corruption within the Treasury Department.
The scandal involves fraudulent transactions made through the pension accounts of retired teachers, with officials colluding to siphon off government funds over a period of nearly seven years, officials said today.
The scam came to light when 65-year-old Kamla Devi, a widow of a retired government school teacher from Khandheha village in Mau tehsil, approached the treasury office after her pension had been stopped for over six months. She was shocked to learn that her account had been frozen due to an alleged fraud of Rs 31 lakh, which had been deposited and withdrawn from her account without her full knowledge.
