A 26-year-old mechanical engineer who allegedly secured the job of engineer officer and worked at Central Power Research Institute for three years has been arrested by the Police.
Based on the complaint filed by K. Praveen Kumar, the Sadashivanagar police registered a case against Manish Singh, charging him under various sections of IT Act, cheating and impersonation on Friday.
In his complaint, Praveen said that Manish secured the job in December 2018 after completing several rounds of examinations and interviews. At the time of his appointment, he submitted GATE marks card from IIT-Guwahati. The CPRI sent the scorecard to IIT-Guwahati for verification in June 18, 2021, and received the report a few days later.
The report stated that Manish had not qualified for the job nor did the scorecard belong to him. Even the digital fingerprint on the scorecard did not match.
The institute later found that he had borrowed someone’s marks card to claim the job.
Based on the complaint, the police arrested Manish. The documents have been sent to FSL for analysis.
