Police in Nagaur, Rajasthan, intensified the probe into the Prime Minister's crop‑insurance scheme and, on a production warrant, took into custody seven suspects who were already lodged in jail.
Police in Nagaur have stepped up the investigation into alleged fraud linked to the Prime Minister's crop‑insurance scheme, a central government programme intended to safeguard farmers' harvests.
In a recent operation, officers secured a production warrant and escorted seven individuals, already serving sentences in a local jail, to the police station for further questioning.
The accused are alleged to have fabricated claims or tampered with documents to obtain undue benefits under the scheme, though specific details of the fraud have not been disclosed.
Authorities said the arrests reflect a zero‑tolerance stance against corruption in agricultural welfare schemes and that the probe will continue to uncover any additional participants.
The case highlights the challenges of protecting large‑scale subsidy programmes and the need for stronger verification mechanisms to ensure genuine farmers receive support.
