Three suspects arrested in Nagaur crop‑insurance fraud involving misdirected farmer claims

Police in Nagaur, Rajasthan, arrested three suspects connected to the regional office of an insurance firm after uncovering a large‑scale fraud under the Prime Minister's Crop Insurance Scheme. Investigators say the accused used personal data of farmers to create a network that redirected claim payments into accounts not belonging to the rightful beneficiaries. The scheme allegedly involved millions of rupees, with the misappropriated funds transferred to multiple unauthorized bank accounts. Authorities have seized relevant documents and are continuing to trace the flow of money to identify any additional participants. The arrests aim to restore confidence among farmers and ensure that genuine claims under the government scheme are processed transparently.
