A three-member team arrived at the Begampur PACS (Primary Agricultural Credit Society) godown on Friday to investigate serious allegations of financial irregularities and fraud. The investigation was initiated following a complaint filed by farmer Sadhusharan Singh with the Registrar, Cooperative Societies, Government of Bihar, Patna. The complaint detailed numerous irregularities, including alleged fraudulent paddy procurement worth crores of rupees over the past 10 years.

Given the gravity of the matter, the Registrar's office demanded a report within 24 hours. Subsequently, a probe team was constituted under the orders of District Cooperative Officer Dharamnath Prasad. The team comprised Aabha Kumari, Senior Cooperative Extension Officer, Biharsharif; Deepak Kumar, Block Cooperative Officer, Silao; and Kislay Krishna, Block Cooperative Officer, Noorsarai.

The investigation focused on four main points: allegations of fraudulent paddy procurement and embezzlement, irregularities in the appointment of PACS Chairman Manoj Kumar's brother, Sudhir Kumar, to the post of PACS Manager, manipulation in the agricultural machinery bank scheme, and the issue of a fake voter list. During the investigation, complainant Sadhusharan Singh alleged that the PACS chairman failed to provide valid documents to the team.
