Reports said that following daylong questioning on Tuesday, all the accused were taken for medical examination at the district hospital and later produced before the Chief Judicial Magistrate (CJM), who sent them to judicial custody.

Among those sent to jail are three women pensioners and four middlemen. The middlemen allegedly acted as intermediaries, connecting pensioners with treasury officials and facilitating illegal transactions. Under the guise of “additional pension payments,” large sums of money were transferred into pensioners’ accounts and later shared among the conspirators.
