Imphal, June 27 2012:
Five frauds who conspired to enjoy benefits of Government policies, schemes and programmes by using a forged gazette notification in the name of five new fictitious villages within Churachandpur district have been pulled up.
In the meantime, it is being suspected if some other frauds are hatching a similar conspiracy in the name of six new fictitious villages.
The frauds used the forged gazette notification in the process of paying hills house tax in order to obtain Government recognition of the fictitious villages.
Sensing something amiss, the Churachandpur DC sent the gazette notification to the Directorate of Printing and Stationery for verification, and it turned out that the gazette notification was a forged one.
Acting on the advice of the Department of Tribal Affairs and Hills to be extra careful while giving recognition to new villages, and based on the report given by the Directorate of Printing and Stationery, Churachandpur Police pulled up the five frauds today.
They were scheming to create the five fictitious villages under Tuibong and Henglep blocks in Churachandpur district, informed a source.
The arrested frauds and the names of the fictitious villages are Onkhollun Haokip (H Phaingam Avenue), Sangboi Khongsai (J Heljang), V Jamkhongam Haokip (Langet Molbon), Latinkhai Khonga (Kholunphai) and Haumilan (Heljang Jolden) .
Police have registered a case against them.
Meanwhile, the district administration has detected a similar case which looked like some frauds were conspiring to obtain Government recognition of six new fictitious villages by using forged gazette notification.
The same gazette notification would be sent to the Directorate of Printing and Stationery for verification, added the source.
