The DSSO's report said that the sarpanch enchased the cheque and kept the amount for about one month in her house. The report adds that her husband prepared a list of fake beneficiaries.

It adds that keeping the amount at home was a suspicious act. What was even more suspicious was that the sarpanch was not present during the distribution of the amount.
