NEW DELHI: The CBI has registered five cases into alleged swindling of funds from the centrally sponsored Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MNREGA) in Uttar Pradesh during the rule of Mayawati-led BSP.

CBI sources said cases of criminal conspiracy, cheating, forgery under Indian Penal Code and misuse of officials position under the Prevention of Corruption Act have been registered regarding alleged financial irregularities in Gonda, Balrampur, Sonbhadra, Mahoba and Kushinagar districts. Sources said FIRs have been registered against officials who were directly linked with the implementation of the scheme in these districts during 2007-10 but no official has been named in these reports.

The agency is likely to register two more cases soon. CBI has asked the district administration and state government to keep safe custody of records related to MGNREGA in these districts.

The agency has taken over the cases on the orders of Lucknow bench of the Allahabad high court which directed the CBI to investigate the alleged abuse and misappropriation of fund as well as the abuse of power under MNREGA scheme in seven districts of Uttar Pradesh.

The court had directed CBI to investigate the abuse and misappropriation of funds as well as the abuse of power under MNREGA scheme in seven districts -- Balrampur, Gonda, Mahoba, Sonbhadra, Sant Kabir Nagar, Mirzapur and Kushinagar - between 2007 and 2010 and come up with appropriate action and prosecution in accordance with law.

The bench had said a further writ in the nature of mandamus was issued directing CBI to hold a preliminary enquiry with regard to other districts of the state for the three years relating to abuse, misuse or misappropriation of funds provided by the Centre under the scheme with follow-up of regular enquiry, if required.
