The case of making fake ration cards by hacking the ID of the food controller has come to the fore. The hacker made 185 fake ration cards. These include 44 Antyodaya, 141 general cards. These ration cards have been made during the lockdown.
All 185 fake ration cards are attached in ration shops of Janpad Panchayat Dhamdha, Patan, Durg and Bhilai Corporation and Bhilai Charoda Corporation. Out of the fake ration cards, food grains worth Rs 80 thousand 335 were also withdrawn from 57 cards till June 8, 2021. If food grains were to be lifted from the entire fake ration card, then the government would have to bear a loss of about two lakh 30 thousand 467 rupees every month.
A total of 185 fake ration cards have been made from the departmental module using the ID and password of the District Food Controller. About which no official of the department was even aware. Food grains were also withdrawn from 57 cards out of fake ration cards.
After the withdrawal of food grains, the inspector of the department came to know about it. Then he investigated at the departmental level. On confirmation of the forgery, the Durg Kotwali police started investigation by registering an FIR against the unknown accused under the sections of forgery and forgery.
Food Inspector Deepa Verma has lodged an FIR in this matter at Durg Kotwali police station. The complainant came to know that 44 Antyodaya and 141 other categories of ration cards have been made using the unique identity issued at the government level in a forged manner.
