Same photos, many claims: Audit shows how Bengal cyclone relief was stolen
The Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) flagged irregularities in West Bengal's cyclone relief distribution, revealing identical photos used for multiple claims. Of 31,457 photos analyzed, 3,126 were linked to different beneficiaries, indicating potential fraud. The findings could impact the Trinamool Congress government ahead of the 2026 elections, raising questions about accountability in disaster relief.
