An AI-assisted audit in Chhattisgarh leads to the detection of an alleged salary fraud involving police personnel in the Bastar region. According to reports, three policemen from Bastar are arrested over a case in which salaries are allegedly fraudulently inflated or misappropriated, resulting in an estimated loss of about Rs 2 crore. NDTV and Deccan Chronicle both describe the investigation as being prompted by an AI-audit process that flags inconsistencies in salary-related records. The accused are policemen attached to the Bastar police force. After the AI audit identifies the discrepancies, police action follows and the three officers are held in connection with the embezzlement and salary fraud allegations. The reported figure across outlets is the same, placing the alleged fraudulent amount at roughly Rs 2 crore. Both sources attribute the discovery to the use of AI during the audit stage, which helps uncover irregularities that are later treated as the basis for the arrests.
