The police started digging further and even asked the PMO whether such an account was created when they found out that no such was account was created by the PMO for funds, then the police started investigating and found that the account was linked to West Bengal and Jharkhand. The police have identified some people who are responsible for this scam and are going to make arrests very soon.
