Noida, July 22, 2024 – In a shocking revelation, the Noida police apprehended Rajat Bharti, a clerk at the Employees’ State Insurance Corporation (ESIC), for orchestrating a massive fraud. Bharti allegedly manipulated beneficiary records, siphoning off approximately Rs 40 lakh by replacing legitimate names with fake identities on the ESIC portal.
The Elaborate Scheme
Bharti’s cunning scheme involved a web of deception. Here’s how he executed it:
Identity Swap: Armed with his user ID and password, Bharti meticulously altered the ESIC database. He removed the names of genuine insured individuals and substituted them with bogus entries.
Super Special Treatment (SST) Scam: Bharti exploited his position to claim SST benefits fraudulently. Under the guise of medical treatments, he facilitated expensive procedures for himself and others. The ESIC disbursed payments to hospitals on the panel, while Bharti personally collected money from unsuspecting patients.
Betrayal of Trust: The ESIC, designed to support genuine claimants, unwittingly became a tool for Bharti’s personal gain. Funds meant for those in need were diverted into his pockets.
The Fallout
Bharti’s actions have far-reaching consequences:
Legal Proceedings: An FIR has been lodged against him, charging him with criminal breach of trust, forgery of documents, and cheating. The Information Technology Act also comes into play.
Public Outrage: The revelation has sparked outrage among beneficiaries who trusted the system. Many are left wondering how an insider could manipulate their well-being for personal enrichment.
Lesson
This incident serves as a stark reminder that even seemingly secure systems can be vulnerable to internal betrayal. As legal proceedings unfold, questions arise: How can we safeguard against such breaches of trust? And how do we ensure that those in positions of authority prioritize the welfare of the people?
The ESIC, once a beacon of hope, now grapples with the stain of deception. The pursuit of justice continues, but the scars of betrayal will linger for those who relied on its promises. As we navigate this complex web of fraud, let us remain vigilant and demand accountability from those entrusted with our well-being.
