Headline: Family Forced to Flee Village After Reporting MGNREGA Scam

A family from Sanwarpur village in Bhadohi district has alleged that they were forced to abandon their home and escape to Varanasi after they were brutally attacked by a group of nearly 40–50 influential local persons. The incident reportedly occurred after the family exposed large-scale corruption in MGNREGA development works in their village.

Victim Nandalal Gaur stated that he had submitted a written complaint regarding serious irregularities in MGNREGA projects to officials who visited the village for inspection. Soon after this complaint, a violent mob attacked his house, assaulted him, his wife, daughter, and children, and destroyed household belongings, leaving the entire family injured, traumatized, and mentally disturbed.

When the victim family approached the local police station to register their complaint, they were allegedly rebuked and turned away without proper assistance. Although an FIR was later registered, it contained only minor charges, enabling the accused persons to roam freely and continue threatening the family with death and kidnapping.

Fearing for their lives and seeking justice and protection, the family reached IG Zone, Varanasi, where officials listened to their complaint and demanded a detailed report from the Superintendent of Police, Bhadohi, assuring appropriate and lawful action.
