Mother-Daughter Arrested For Rupees Twenty-Five Lakhs Student Scholarship Scam

The focus of every central and state government has been towards the growth, development and education of the youth, and certain benefits and scholarships are awarded to the socially backward and deprived strata of society. However, a case of a woman run NGO has come to light, where the lady director and her daughter have misused these grants by conning several students.

Case:

In the name of pursuing post matriculation course from the government, a big fraud has come to light in Yamunanagar Rural Development Science Center NGO, Haryana
A total amount of Rs 24.51 lakh have been siphoned off by Gurdev Kaur who runs the NGO and her her daughter Ritika
The matter was brought to light during the Vigilance investigation
The vigilance authorities have arrested Kaur and her daughter in this case
Both were produced by the police in court and have been taken on remand for two days
State lawyer Arun Kumar said that the mother-daughter remand was sought from the court as many documents and money have to be yet recovered from them

On the other hand, Vigilance DSP Sharif said that mother and daughter are being arrested and are being intensively questioned while in custody
The court granted a two-day remand and many other people are also going to be arrested in the matter
Vigilance inquiry was ordered on June 7, 2019 in this said case, while the team has been investigating the ongoing scholarship scam from 2015-2016
The inquiry has also revealed that 41 students were admitted to the University of Rajasthan with a scholarship of Rupees Twenty-Four Lakhs Fifty-One Thousand that was recorded to be fraudulent
Under the shadow of the NGO, the youth were offered courses from OPJS University (Om Parkash Jogender Singh University) in Rajasthan

How Did The Scam Take Place

The government gives scholarship to the youth belonging to scheduled caste on applying for the post matriculation course
This money gets credited directly into the candidate’s account
The scholarship process is completed through the Social Welfare Department
NGO director Gurdev Kaur got the students admitted under this scheme, opened bank accounts in their name but kept the ATM kit with herself and her daughter
As soon as the scholarship money was received in the student’s account, the mother-daughter duo would withdraw the same
