    followers, who are mainly small contractors and many elected members of Gram
    Panchayat, are hand in glove with the local Panchayat officials in misusing
    MGNREGA funds. He finds that each Panchayat Secretary along with the elected
    members have used machines to complete many works under the scheme and
    siphoned off funds using fake job cards. He also finds out that all this was done at
    the behest of his father-in-law, the local MLA. Now, the state government has taken
    cognizance of the issue after a media report and has ordered inquiry into the scam.

    Jayanth has to probe the matter and file a report to the higher authorities. His father-
    in-law is pressurizing him to file a false report as he himself is under pressure from
    his followers, who if found guilty will be slapped with a criminal case. Some
    contractors have contacted and requested him to not to mention their names in the
    report in return for a hefty bribe. Some Panchayat secretaries have requested him to
    spare them as according to them Panchayat members had coerced them into
    becoming partners in crime. Jayanth is recently married and it is his first government
    job.

    Questions:
    What do you think about Jayanth’s situation? Explain.

    What would you do had you been Jayanth?

    Have you or someone you know ever been in a similar situation? What had
    happened?

    a “good choice”?
