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.

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.
