The Udupi district BJP on Sunday demanded a high-level probe into alleged irregularities in Sanjeevini women's self-help groups (SHGs), claiming that over ₹80 lakh has been misappropriated in three unions. District Mahila Morcha president Sandhya Ramesh said police complaints have been lodged in at least three of the 155 SHGs. Around 90,000 women earn livelihoods through these groups under the Union government-sponsored scheme, which is implemented by the state. Ramesh alleged a lack of supervision in accounting and management, and said similar incidents may have occurred in other districts.
