Hyderabad Police Register Case Over Pension Fraud in Madhura Nagar

The Madhura Nagar Police in Hyderabad have registered a case after officials uncovered an alleged pension fraud involving a woman who continued withdrawing her deceased mother’s pension.

Fraud Linked to TGSPDCL Employee Pension

According to officials, Renuka’s mother had previously worked with TGSPDCL (Telangana State Southern Power Distribution Company Limited).

During the verification, discrepancies were identified regarding the pension account linked to the deceased employee.

Further preliminary examination indicated that Renuka had withdrawn a total of ₹6.45 lakh from the pension funds.

Complaint Filed With Police

Following the findings, officials submitted a formal complaint to the Madhura Nagar Police Station, seeking action against the accused.

They requested authorities to initiate legal proceedings in connection with the alleged misappropriation of pension funds.

Based on the complaint, police registered a case and began examining the details of the transactions.

Investigation Into Possible Involvement of Others

Police officials stated that the investigation will also examine whether any other individuals were involved in the pension withdrawals.

Authorities are reviewing records related to the pension payments and the withdrawal process to determine the full extent of the alleged fraud.

Further details are expected as the Madhura Nagar police continue the investigation into the case.
