The arrested accused include Jeevan Thakur, husband of former sarpanch of Gram Panchayat Mayana, her son Neeraj Poya and Shop Singh, former sarpanch of the village.

The police arrested the accused Jeevan Thakur, Shop Singh and Neeraj Poya and presented them in the court.
Let us tell you that this fraud was done during the tenure of the former Sarpanch of Gram Panchayat.

Villagers say that a complaint had been made to the Collector regarding this matter earlier also, due to which there used to be a situation of dispute and tension in the village many times.
