The actual beneficiaries have been cheated by the NGO or the complainant.After perusal of the reports submitted by the authorities in the instant case, the NHRC directed the District Magistrate, Balasore, Odisha and Superintendent of Police, Balasore, Odisha to initiate criminal action against the guilty NGO or the complainant who have allegedly cheated the actual beneficiaries.( With inputs from ANI )Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
