The Ganjam district authorities have revealed that pensions under various social security schemes have been enrolled in the names of at least six people who have already died in the last few months.
This was revealed when an FIR was lodged by Kumudakhandi Block Development Officer Sashanka Das against a Gram Rojagar Sevak (GRS) of Rohigaon gram panchayat for allegedly making disbursement in the names of at least six dead persons.
Das said that during an enquiry she found their names were used for getting the Madhu Babu Old Age Pension and Widow Pension.
The monthly pension under state government-sponsored scheme Madhu Babu Pension Yojana is Rs 300.
