A case of fraud in MGNREGA (Mahatma Gandhi Employment Guarantee Act) has come to light from Madhya Pradesh.

A few job cards, issued to workers employed under MGNREGA scheme, in Piparkheda Naka Panchayat of Khargone, were allegedly found to have photos and details of actresses on them including Deepika Padukone.

Payments for a few days in the months of June and July were made on the same cards.

Investigation has begun in the matter.

"Whoever found guilty will be punished," said CEO District Panchayat, Gaurav Banel.
