A letter has been issued by the DM in this regard. A video of Sangeeta Kumari, a woman supervisor working at the CDPO office, Chatapur, allegedly accepting a bribe from an Anganwadi worker has gone viral on social media. It is written in the letter that serious allegations related to irregularities and corruption have been found in the work of supervisor Sangeeta. The letter also said that the work of the office was adversely affected due to these allegations. In view of the seriousness of the matter, the DM has directed the CDPO of Chhatapur to investigate the entire episode and submit a report within the stipulated time.
What is the whole matter?
In fact, Mamta Kumari, a sevika of Jeevachpur Panchayat Anganwadi Center No. 52, has alleged that a bribe of Rs 2,600 is taken every month in the name of the amount related to the center and the process of voucher payment, THR and purchase register maintenance and other cards. In this case, the woman supervisor Sangeeta Kumari has been accused of taking bribe. Sevika Mamla Kumari has shown a purported video of the supervisor in which the supervisor is seen counting money in the ICDS office. Mamta Kumari, a maid, claimed that she had made a video of the alleged monthly payment from her husband. In the viral video, during the conversation, it is heard that instead of Rs 2,600, it is said to be Rs 2,400 and Rs 200 less. However, there has been no official confirmation of the viral video. It is also not clear for what the amount seen in the video has been taken.

Mamta Kumari has also alleged that she was demanded an additional Rs 10,000 to pass the voucher for two months. When Mamta Kumari protested against this, pressure was put on to delete the video. After the matter came to light, there is a demand for a departmental inquiry into the alleged monthly recovery from Anganwadi centers. At the same time, the woman supervisor Sangeeta, clarifying on the viral video, said that she has taken an arrears of Rs 2,600 for the medicine. Which was given by one of his clients in exchange for treatment from Dr. Vinay Kumar. The video is being shown incorrectly.
The whole matter is currently being investigated. The DM has ordered an inquiry into the whole matter as soon as possible and only after a departmental inquiry, the real picture of the whole matter will be revealed. If the allegations are found to be true, action can be taken against the concerned people as per rules.
