Enforcement Directorate’s recent letter to Telangana government about the sheep distribution scheme after 2015 exposes a scam worth over ₹700 crore. The scheme is about the government buying sheep from the market and distributing to poor people. Middlemen jack up invoices to make extra money. For instance, they show that 126 sheep transported in a single trip on a two-wheeler.
