NEW DELHI: After registering five FIRs in the alleged irregularities in implementation of centrally-sponsored Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) in Uttar Pradesh during the rule of Mayawati-led BSP, the Central Bureau of Investigation has reportedly collected important documents related to the scheme from five districts in the state. The agency is expected to call for questioning some senior bureaucrats who were in charge of the scheme in UP during the previous regime.

The irregularities have been found in five districts - Gonda, Balrampur, Sonbhadra, Mahoba and Kushinagar. CBI sources said FIRs have been registered against officials who were directly linked with the implementation of the scheme in these districts during 2007-10.

Sources said the agency would analyse all the documents as to how come money did not reach the right hands and who signed off on the payments.

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

The bench had also directed the CBI to hold a preliminary enquiry with regard to other districts for the same period, relating to abuse, misuse or misappropriation of funds provided by the Centre under MNREGA.
