Goa, Shimla trip offers for bulk change cases hint at scam; 6 held

By Sumit Blogs -

JIND: Six arrests in Jind, Hisar and Fatehabad districts of Haryana for alleged illegalities around making of changes in the Parivar Pehchan Patra (PPP), a unique identity card scheme of Haryana government mandatory to avail benefits of social security schemes, has raised serious privacy concerns and the whiff of a scam.
Local PPP operators, who have authority to create the eight-digit family IDs, are allegedly offering tours packages to Goa, Chandigarh and Shimla as well as cash-back offers to those who provide bulk cases of making changes in income, member deletion, caste, occupation, date of birth and other categories in the PPP. Teams from two districts of Haryana, including Jind and Fatehabad, are probing the PPP scam.
Officials said that local PPP operators under the Citizen Resource Information Department (CRID) running a common service centre (CSC) were found involved in this illegal activity. Messages had been making rounds in various social media groups of some operators allegedly offering a Goa tour for one who brings 500 cases or Rs 20,000 cash back and trips to Chandigarh or Shimla or Rs 10,000 cash back for 250 cases of updation. An operator can’t make changes pertaining to income, deletion of family members, caste or profession on their own as it’s the state authorities who have the power to deal with such cases, officials added.
Jind crime investigation agency (CIA) in-charge Anup Kumar said that such operators used to charge Rs 200 to Rs 3,000 for making changes in categories when they are not authorised to do so. Jind police arrested three accused in this case — Yashvir of Jind district, Mikka and Raj of Hisar district — under Section 420 (cheating) of the IPC, information Act and Haryana Parivar Pehchan Act. Police are trying to ascertain the modus operandi of these accused. “We came to know that they are offering tours if one gives them bulk cases. Our teams are raiding those linked to them as well. The accused have been remanded. We have seized their laptops and other items and launched a further probe,” he maintained.
Kuldeep Singh, station house officer at Bhunna police station of Fathebad district, said they had also arrested Ravinder and Ansh of Bhuna town and Sunil from Dumarkha village of Jind district in this regard. “It came to fore that the accused used to charge Rs 800 per change in PPP. Possibilities of involvement of higher officials who have the authority to make changes can’t be ruled out, and police are also probing this matter from hacking angle.
Sources pointed out that the operators can make some minor changes which are based on Aadhaar card such as mistakes in name of spelling and bank account. In case of any change in qualification, death details, date of birth or marital status, the PPP operator will have to apply online with concerned documents. They can’t make changes such as decreasing income of the concerned family, occupation, caste change, merger or deletion of family members as there is a proper team to look after in these cases through proper channels of Haryana government officials.
People are approaching PPP operators seeking to show a reduced income after the Haryana government fixed a slab of Rs 2 lakh income per annum for availing old age pension or other benefits of the state government.

The stage was about to be set for Hrithik Roshan and Saif Ali Khan’s ‘Vikram Vedha’ in Mumbai’s Film City. The material had reached. The artisans had been hired. But the lights have now been dimmed. Madhavan and Vijay Sethupathi’s hit movie Vikram Vedha’s Hindi remake will not go on floors by mid-July as per the original plan. The new delta virus of COVID has sent shudders down many spines and many films which were being laid out on an expansive scale have been either held back or shifted their shoots abroad. The first schedule of this Hrithik-Saif movie will now be shot abroad. A source says, “The Mumbai schedule will be done but later.” Adds the source, “It’s a call that was taken yesterday. It wasn’t an easy call to take, no doubt, but the fact that it’s going to be a costly set made the makers take the safer route rather than be sorry later.” When contacted, General Secretary of FWICE (Federation of Western India Cine Employees), Ashok Dubey, confirmed that the makers of ‘V
