Jharkhand scholarship scam: Fraud went on unchecked even as red flags were waved in Centre and state -Abhishek Angad

-The Indian Express

On Sunday, Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren reacted to the findings by ordering a probe and promising to revamp the verification system. Chief Secretary Sukhdev Singh said verification “has been stopped” till the probe is completed.

Ranchi: On October 31, barely 48 hours after The Indian Express told him that official records had listed 180 beneficiaries from his school for the Centre’s pre-Matric scholarship for minority students, the principal of Blue Bells in Jharkhand’s Ramgarh rushed to the nearest police station.

“We have not applied for any minority scholarship…take swift action against those involved in this fraudulent activity,” wrote Mahendra Verma in his complaint at the station in Gola.
