The Economic Offences Wing (EOW) has registered two separate cases against a former in-charge manager of Seva Cooperative Society, Amkui, in Madhya Pradesh’s Satna district, following allegations of disproportionate assets and irregularities in fertiliser distribution.
According to the EOW’s preliminary investigation, Surendra Pratap Singh Baghel allegedly accumulated assets and incurred expenditure worth Rs 92.16 lakh between January 2007 and September 2025, against his known legitimate income of Rs 17.51 lakh. The estimated excess stands at approximately 426 per cent.
The investigation reportedly identified land documents worth Rs 22.50 lakh, gold jewellery valued at Rs 11.97 lakh, multiple vehicles, a residential property in the Nagod area, six bank accounts and six insurance policies. Expenses on his son’s education in Delhi are also under scrutiny.
In the disproportionate assets case, the EOW registered FIR No. 110/2026.
Separately, FIR No. 111/2026 has been registered over alleged irregularities in urea distribution. The manager is accused of charging farmers Rs 600 per quintal against the prescribed rate of Rs 593 and making suspicious entries involving 122 farmers. The agency is examining financial records and fertiliser distribution documents as part of its investigation.
