LIC fraud unearthed

Interestingly, some of the persons shown as dead were still alive and almost all the beneficiaries were related to Karamjit Singh, while Sarpanch Darshan Singh had provided attestation on the death certificates of all those shown as dead.

Varinder Kumar, SP Hq, who was investigating the case, told ENS that the interrogation of the accused had revealed that Karamjit had fraudulently received claims for the death of his close family members. It was further revealed that for each bogus claim processed and paid, a commission was given to some LIC officials for not conducting verification of the genuineness of the claim.
