Jharkhand Scholarship Scam: Dhanbad FIRs pin the nexus, of principals, officials, mastermind

Two authorities of the area government assistance office whose employment is to screen grant applications, a genius and his two partners, five school administrators who have been blamed for making counterfeit recipients, a neighborhood advocate — and a mother of two who has disappeared.

This is the nexus against which the principal set of 11 FIRs have been documented in Jharkhand’s Dhanbad, following an examination by The Indian Express into the illicit redirection of the Center’s pre-Matric grant for helpless minority understudies.

The FIRs express that the charged purportedly “baited honest individuals” to become “counterfeit recipients”, “submitted counterfeit KYC archives” at the government assistance office and avoided check with assistance from authorities to get schools enlisted on the National Scholarship Portal (NSP).

They name a lady, who has been recognized as a specialist in Dhanbad, as a feature of the nexus situated in the state’s Chatra locale with tasks in Bihar also.

The FIRs have been documented under IPC areas on cheating and falsification, including 420, and criminal intrigue. No captures have been made at this point.

Nine individuals figure among the key denounced: Vinod Paswan and Ajay Mandal, who are staff members in the District Welfare Office; Nilofar Parveen, a specialist; Pratap Jaswar, Jharilal Mahato, Kalim Akhtar, Santosh Vishwakarma and Abdul Hamid, who are school proprietors or administrators; and, Ghulam Musatafa, a backer at the Dhanbad court.

Under the grant, understudies from Class 1 to 5 get Rs 1,000 every year, and understudies of Class 6 to 10 get Rs 5,700 per year on the off chance that they are day researchers or Rs 10,700 on the off chance that they are in a lodging. The majority of the debasement, The Indian Express found, is identified with these last two classes.

As per Parveen’s assertion, Sadiq purportedly guaranteed that “he had contacts in the locale and state level”. It expresses that Parveen’s job was to submit duplicates of KYC reports at the Welfare office for check after which school specialists would get User IDs and passwords and hand them over to Sadiq. “Sadiq worked in Ranchi, Sahibganj and Dhanbad in Jharkhand, and Aurangabad and Arrah in Bihar,” it states.

The FIRs detail the supposed pretended by the other blamed, as recorded in the test report:

*Ajay Mandal, PC administrator, District Welfare Office: He supposedly enlisted schools on the NSP without the mark of District Welfare Officer Satyanand Dubey. Dubey told the test group that at any rate 12 such enrollments were finished. Mandal’s telephone was turned off and he was unable to be gone after remark.

  • Vinod Paswan, official, District Welfare Office: He was accountable for examining documents, and was purportedly paid Rs 80,000 by Parveen and Sadiq. Paswan’s telephone was turned off and he was unable to be gone after remark.
  • Mohammad Harun, head, Gyan Jyoti Academy: He purportedly paid Paswan Rs 30,000 to get schools enrolled on the NSP. Harun couldn’t be gone after remark.
  • Pratap Jaswar, head, Genius Public School: He purportedly worked with Parveen and others to produce User IDs and passwords from schools and register counterfeit recipients. Jaswar couldn’t be gone after remark.
  • Ghulam Mustafa, advocate: He purportedly functioned as a mediator alongside Welfare authorities. When reached, Mustafa stated: “I have no task to carry out in the trick.”

After The Indian Express distributed a progression of reports on the trick, the Union Ministry of Minority Affairs, which oversees this grant, chosen to ask the CBI to examine. Police in Bihar’s Gaya have likewise enlisted a FIR.

HT Rewind 2024: Teja Sajja says HanuMan kicking off the year in style is the moment he’d been ‘waiting for’ | Exclusive

HT Rewind 2024: Teja Sajja says HanuMan kicking off the year in style is the moment he’d been ‘waiting for’ | Exclusive

In conversation with Hindustan Times, Teja Sajja decodes the success of HanuMan and other Telugu films, talks about his upcoming projects, and more.
When Prasanth Varma’s superhero film HanuMan, starring Teja Sajja, was announced to be released alongside big films like Mahesh Babu’s Guntur Kaaram, Venkatesh’s Saindhav and Nagarjuna’s Naa Saami Ranga in January this year, no one expected the underdog to emerge on top. And yet, the film, made on a budget of under ₹50 crore, managed to collect over ₹300 crore at the box office worldwide in 25 days, becoming one of the highest-grossing Indian films for the year.

Ask Teja about the moment he realised his film had not just fought against the tide but also risen to the top; he tells Hindustan Times in an exclusive conversation, “Since I returned to acting (as a lead actor after being a child artiste since 1998), this is the moment I’ve been waiting for. When everything from the HanuMan teaser to the songs was grabbing attention, we knew we had hit a gold mine. But I don’t think we imagined it would cross the ₹300 crore threshold. We were so satisfied with the opening numbers; everything else was a bonus.”

‘Success has given me fear of disappointing people’

Teja acted in Zombie Reddy, Ishq and Adbhutham before HanuMan, but they are what you would call ‘critical successes’, adding to his repertoire as an actor who can perform. But things have changed for him now, says Teja, who is being picky about the roles he says yes to. “Success either makes you overconfident or gives you the fear of disappointing people; I have the latter,” he explains.

Teja admits he wants to chart out his career in Hrithik Roshan’s footsteps, but not in the way you think. “I have such a fondness for Hrithik due to Koi Mil Gaya and Krrish. No matter how well he performed after that, these left a lasting impression on me; I’m sure 90s kids will agree,” he says, adding, “Similarly, I’ve realised that I have an audience in children now. I want to be conscious of that when I pick roles. I want to make films families can enjoy together.”

But despite people in places like Mumbai or Delhi recognising him, Teja says he’s clear that he wants to cater to the Telugu audience first. “I am conscious that I am making films for my playground – the Telugu states. This is the sensibility I have grown up with, and I don’t know if I can cater to everyone else. Will I promote my films in other languages? Sure. But I also can’t be part of films that aren’t authentic to what I know or understand,” he explains.

‘Rootedness has put us on the world map’

And authenticity seems to be the need of the hour. Be it Baahubali and RRR or the recently released Pushpa 2: The Rule, Kalki 2898 AD and Devara: Part 1, certain kind of stories seem to be finding success. “Rootedness and going local is proving to be such a boon for us, be it in Devara or Pushpa or HanuMan. Kalki 2898 AD was our version of a Hollywood film (the sci-fi concept) with actors from across languages in predominant roles; it put us on the world map,” reflects Teja.

However, the actor admits Tollywood went through a phase of Bollywood-inspired rom-coms and family dramas that worked in their favour for a while. “That wasn’t easy to replicate either, but it’s just that these local stories are what the audience seems most interested in now. It can’t just be chalked up to religion, too. It’s about the morals these films are hinged on, the fighting for righteousness, and how an underdog can find their strength. Introducing Mahabharata or Ramayana to a new audience in a cool way is just a perk,” he says.

And it’s this rootedness that Teja says his next films, Mirai and Jai Hanuman (the sequel to HanuMan), will also have ample of. “Mirai is also a superhero film that caters to kids, but it’s not an origin story like HanuMan. It has a pan-Asian and Buddhist touch because the story is based on King Ashoka’s ideologies. I hope that I will get to deliver something new to the audience again. I will only feel like I’ve arrived if Mirai is equally, if not more, successful,” says Teja.

Rishab Shetty will headline Jai Hanuman, but Teja also looks forward to shooting that. “I can’t wait to be on that set; it’ll be exciting. Now that we know India is ready to watch our films, I want to step it up. I want to shift gears and shoot for at least two films in 2025,” he says. As for what he will do next, Teja says he wants to up the ante. “When I got a SIIMA award for Zombie Reddy as a debutant, I remember telling Prasanth this would be the last award I get. But now that I won a Radio City Cine Award for Best Actor, I hope more awards will follow,” he signs off cheekily.
