"मंसूबे": In Rajasthan’s Pali, a jaw-dropping ₹7 crore scam saw 29,000 fake Muslim accounts loot PM Kisan Nidhi funds in 2020, hitting Desuri and Rani hard, while Congress under Ashok Gehlot sat quiet as police ignored it and gangs from Bihar thrived

A massive fraud has rocked the Pali district of Rajasthan, exposing a shameful scam that siphoned off a staggering ₹7 crore from the “Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi” scheme. This money, meant to support genuine farmers, was instead funneled into fake bank accounts created under Muslim names in villages where not a single Muslim lives.

It’s a scandal that raises serious questions about oversight, accountability, and the audacity of those involved—especially the Muslim gangs from West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh, and Bihar who seem to have mastered the art of deceit. Around 29,000 such fraudulent accounts have been uncovered in Pali alone, revealing a well-organized racket that took advantage of a government program designed to uplift rural India.
The investigation into this scam has painted a disturbing picture. In Desuri, a whopping 20,000 bogus accounts were found, while Rani reported 9,004, and Marwar Junction uncovered 62 fake accounts. These numbers aren’t just statistics—they represent a betrayal of hardworking farmers who rely on schemes like this to survive. A case was finally filed after the investigation brought these details to light, but the damage had already been done. It’s worth noting that back in 2020, when this scam was unfolding, the Congress party was in power in Rajasthan, with Ashok Gehlot as the Chief Minister. Reports suggest this massive fraud happened right under their noses, raising eyebrows about how such a large-scale operation went unnoticed—or perhaps ignored—by the state government at the time.
The scam took place in 2020, but shockingly, the authorities at the time tried to sweep it under the rug. They didn’t even bother registering an FIR (First Information Report) despite clear evidence of wrongdoing. It’s hard to fathom why the police refused to act when crores of rupees were being looted from a scheme meant to help farmers. Thankfully, some officials stepped in to stop the money from reaching these phony accounts and froze them before the funds could disappear completely. Still, the fact that it took so long to respond is a glaring red flag about the system’s vulnerabilities.
An exclusive investigation by Dainik Bhaskar pulled back the curtain on how this fraud was carried out. Between 2019 and August 2020, applications for the “Pradhan Mantri (PM) Samman Nidhi” were submitted under the names of fake farmers using e-mitra and CSC (Common Service Centers). These applications didn’t just appear out of nowhere—they went through a process. After being submitted, the Patwari checked them and passed them on to the Tehsildar. The Tehsildar then verified the forms and sent them to the collector, who forwarded the list to the central government. It’s a chain of approvals that should have caught these fakes, but instead, it became a pipeline for fraud. The center, unaware of the deception, started transferring Kisan Nidhi funds into these accounts, pouring money into the hands of criminals.

Now, investigators suspect that government IDs might have been hacked to greenlight these applications. They’re still digging into whether multiple IDs were used or if the same ones were recycled. Either way, it’s a chilling thought that such sensitive systems could be so easily compromised. In Desuri, the administration noticed something fishy when the number of pending applications for PM Kisan Samman Nidhi shot up dramatically in 2020. On November 5th of that year, there were just 265 outstanding applications. By December 21st, that number had skyrocketed to 19,331—an unbelievable jump that should’ve set off alarm bells much sooner. When officials finally probed deeper, they found these accounts were fraudulent, tied to names from Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, and West Bengal. A staggering 95% of them were registered under Muslim names, even though Desuri has no Muslim residents at all. It’s a blatant lie that exposes the shameless tactics of these fraudsters.
The scale of the theft is jaw-dropping. In Desuri alone, Kisan Samman Nidhi funds totaling ₹1 crore 51 lakh 24 thousand were transferred to 4,793 bank accounts outside Rajasthan. These accounts were later frozen, but not before the money had already been moved. Over in Varkana village in Rani block, the story is just as outrageous. This village doesn’t have a single Muslim resident, yet 9,004 fake accounts were opened there in Muslim names—all registered on the same day. These accounts were set up at a local bank branch in Rani, and three installments of Kisan Samman Nidhi funds had already been deposited into them. Imagine the shock of villagers who learned that their small community was being exploited by outsiders pretending to be locals. According to the investigation, 90% of these accounts belonged to individuals from West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh, and Bihar—again, overwhelmingly Muslim names—showing a clear pattern of fraud linked to these regions.
In Marwar Junction, 62 fake accounts were uncovered, adding to the growing list of scams in Pali district. Officials say this isn’t an isolated incident—there are gangs, especially from Bihar and Uttar Pradesh, who specialize in stealing Kisan Nidhi funds by forging IDs. These crooks are so bold that while real farmers in these villages had their applications rejected, these fake ones sailed through the government portal without even needing an OTP (One-Time Password) for verification. Across Rajasthan, this racket led to 32,000 fictitious applications, a number that highlights just how widespread this problem has become. It’s infuriating to think that genuine farmers were left empty-handed while these Muslim gangs from other states cashed in.

This isn’t just a Rajasthan problem either. A similar case popped up in Chhattisgarh in March 2024, where Kisan Samman Nidhi funds were sent to the accounts of 856 fake farmers in a village in Bemetara district. Of those, 198 accounts were traced back to West Bengal, and in Bargaon village of Berla block, 656 accounts were in Muslim names. An inquiry found only 19 Muslim farmers in that village, and not one of them actually lived there. The total swindle in Chhattisgarh amounted to about ₹3 crore, proving that this is the work of a large, coordinated gang stretching across states. The district collector ordered an investigation after the scam went public, but it’s clear these fraudsters—often Muslims from outside the area—have been at it for years, exploiting loopholes and preying on schemes meant to help the poor.
Back in Rajasthan, the 29,000 fake accounts in Pali district stand as a glaring example of how trust in government programs can be shattered. The fact that this happened in 2020, under Congress rule, and the police refused to file an FIR at the time, only adds fuel to the fire. It’s hard not to wonder if there was some effort to protect the culprits—many of whom, let’s be honest, seem to be Muslims from states like West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh, and Bihar, known for such shady operations. The frozen accounts stopped the bleeding, but the money already transferred is a loss that stings every farmer who missed out. This scam isn’t just about numbers—it’s about real people, real livelihoods, and a system that failed them while letting these fraudsters run wild.
