The district administration of West Singhbhum has launched an investigation into the alleged illegal withdrawal of funds from the district treasury in Chaibasa, as confirmed by a district official on Saturday.
Deputy Commissioner Manish Kumar shared with reporters that inquiries are underway, yet any conclusions would be premature until the investigation concludes. Allegations have surfaced implicating some police personnel in this financial malfeasance.
