The Astonishing 'Crorepati' Peon!
Ilham-ur-Rahman Shamsi—the name may be a mouthful, but this peon, attached to an Intermediate College under the DIOS office, managed to make corruption seem effortless, accessible, and simple. His duties involved handling salary bills and token generation. He created a fraudulent beneficiary ID and siphoned off ₹5 crore from the government exchequer between 2024 and 2026.
Shamsi transferred the entire illicit haul to a total of seven women, including his three wives, his sister-in-law, and his mother-in-law.
Wife – Lubna: ₹2.37 Crore
Wife – Azra Khan: ₹2.12 Crore
Sister-in-law – Fatima: ₹1.03 Crore
Mother-in-law – Nahid: ₹95 Lakhs
Afia: ₹80 Lakhs
Parveen: ₹48 Lakhs
Ashkara: ₹95 Lakhs
