New Indian ExpressSunny Leone, a model and former porn actress, is among the eligible beneficiaries of the Chhattisgarh government’s ambitious scheme ‘Mahtari Vandan Yojana’, which is aimed to boost women empowerment. In the name of Sunny Leone, the swindler Virendra Kumar Joshi managed to create an online bank account in Bastar and received Rs 1000 every month since the scheme was launched in March this year by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The eligible married women across 146 development blocks and district headquarters received Rs 1000 into their bank accounts through Direct Benefit Transfer. Joshi is employed with a private firm ‘Sriram Finance’ in Jagdalpur town, said Haris S.
