A big negligence of the officials has come to light in Hamirpur district of UP, where more than 15 lakh rupees compensation was received for the crop destroyed by hailstorm but it was transferred to the account of people of another district. Regarding this, the SDM says that his ID was hacked. The hacker transferred the money from here to there.
In fact, the amount meant for 750 farmers of Hamirpur as government compensation was sent to the accounts of people of Maharajganj and Gorakhpur. SDM Sadar himself has accepted that about Rs 15.50 lakh has gone to other accounts.
SDM Sadar Pawan Prakash Pathak says that the miscreants have done mischief by hacking his ID. He has lodged a case against unknown persons in the cyber police station on August 4 under various sections including cheating, betrayal, causing harm and cheating through communication. However, yesterday the cyber police station in-charge has said that no such case has been registered, so it is being suspected that there is an attempt to hide something.
