💨 Abstract

Punjab Police has arrested four individuals for manipulating the 'Anaaj Kharid Portal' to divert minimum support price (MSP) payments from farmers to their own bank accounts. The fraud was discovered when some farmers didn't receive their crop payments during the 2024 paddy season. The accused replaced farmers' mobile numbers with their own, updated their bank account information, and restored original details post-payment to avoid detection.
