Minister Girish Mahajan issued a stern warning while speaking to the media in Jamner on Sunday, stating that those who took the money must return it within 24 hours; otherwise, he would have criminal cases registered against them.

It has emerged that relatives and party workers defrauded many youths by claiming to be close to Minister Girish Mahajan and promising government jobs such as *Gram Sevak* and *Talathi*.
Upon becoming aware of this, Minister Mahajan clarified his stance while addressing the media in Jamner on Sunday, warning that those who had taken the money must return it within 24 hours or face criminal charges.
