A fresh controversy has emerged ahead of the Bihar Assembly elections. A woman from Singwara filed a complaint accusing several political leaders of cheating her in the name of a government welfare scheme. Police registered an FIR at the Singwara Police Station based on her statement.
The complainant, Gudiya Devi of Ward No. 7, alleged that leaders collected ₹200 from her. They promised to help her apply under the Mai Bahan Yojana, which assured ₹2,500 to women. She said the leaders misled her and collected money without providing any benefits.
The complaint directly names RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav, Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Yadav, former RJD MLA Rishi Mishra, and former Congress candidate Maskoor Ahmad Usmani. According to the woman, the accused also gathered Aadhaar numbers, bank account details, and mobile numbers of women in her locality.
Police confirmed the FIR and said an investigation is in progress. The case has triggered political tensions as the state moves closer to assembly polls. Leaders of rival parties have already started using the incident to attack their opponents during the campaign.
