This is a result of pervasive and systemic corruption.
There’s a dark comedy movie in which a bank officer takes out an agricultural loan (for digging water well) in a victim’s name. Of course the water well exists only on paper and money is promptly pocketed by the banker.
After a few years government appointed loan collectors knock on the victims door. He is flabbergasted and seeks an educated well wisher’s help. He comes up with a brilliant plan. The victim files a police complaint that his water well has been stolen. Hilarity ensues! I don’t recall how it ends though.

If I remember correctly the person who signed the papers for the well inspection was charged. Apparently the fines were higher because of the way the complaint was posed, it became a criminal case (of well theft) rather than a civil case.
