An investigation has been initiated in Maharashtra's Jalna district amidst allegations of a forgery scam concerning the 2024-25 Dalit Basti Scheme. A senior official confirmed the probe on Thursday.
The social welfare department of the Jalna Zilla Parishad uncovered irregularities amounting to Rs 1 crore, according to CEO Shirish Bansode.
