A pension scam has been unearthed in Bhursaguda Panchayat of Balangir district, where pension money is being withdrawn in the names of beneficiaries who died years ago. Records show that individuals like Goutam Behera and Jhinget Hans, who passed away 5-6 years ago, are still receiving benefits according to the government portal until March 2026. Family members have alleged massive corruption and embezzlement of funds. While local officials have remained silent, the Bangomunda BDO has assured an investigation and subsequent action against those involved. https://otvkhabar.in/odisha/ghost-pension-scam-dead-beneficiaries-allegedly-received-money-for-years-in-balangir-11846387 #creator program
