Hyderabad: A scam involving fake death certificates to claim insurance payouts has caused a stir in Siddipet district. According to police, Bhukya Madhu, the Panchayat Secretary of Rampur, sold his government e-sign dongle to a private individual, Ramesh from Hyderabad, who generated 22 death certificates using it.
The Cherial police have discovered that insurance payouts were claimed using these death certificates. It was found that the 22 individuals had taken insurance policies in the names of their family members and, while those family members were still alive, obtained death certificates falsely declaring them dead in order to misappropriate the insurance money.
Following the discovery of the digital fraud, the local Mandal Panchayat Officer filed a complaint with police. Cherial SHO Apurva Reddy stated that a case has been registered against Panchayat Secretary Madhu and internet operator Ramesh, and that an investigation is underway.
