  "summary": "The Economic Offences Wing (EOW) in Bhopal has registered two cases against Surendra Pratap Singh Baghel, the former in-charge manager of the Amkui Service Cooperative Society in Satna district, Madhya Pradesh. Baghel is accused of amassing disproportionate assets worth Rs 92.16 lakh and committing fraud in fertiliser distribution. The EOW found that Baghel's legal income between January 2007 and September 2025 was Rs 17.51 lakh, but his expenditure was Rs 57.68 lakh, resulting in total assets and expenditure of Rs 92.16 lakh. The investigation also uncovered six bank accounts, six insurance policies, and records of expensive vehicles. Additionally, the EOW found that Baghel had sold urea at a higher price than the government rate, resulting in the registration of 122 fictitious farmers in fertiliser distribution records. Both cases have been registered under relevant provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and the Prevention of Corruption Act.",
