An FIR has been lodged against Mushehari Primary Health Center in-charge Upendra Chaudhary in the local police station regarding the matter, after which the matter came to light. Upendra Chaudhary told that this is incredible. At the age of 65, Leela Devi gave birth to eight girls in 14 months, it is shown in the papers, instead she was given incentive from the government on the birth of the girls on every so called delivery.
He said that Rs 1,400 for each so-called delivery was transferred to the alleged account of Lili Devi and the money has also been withdrawn by the beneficiary.
According to the records of National Rural Health Mission, Shanti Devi has given birth to five girls in nine months, Sonia Devi has given birth to four girls in five months. When these women were talked about, they were terrified. Giving information about his age and children, he said that it must have been decades since he gave birth to a child.
