A case of cheating, forgery and impersonating a public servant has been registered against Ruby.

Alleging a collective effort by the authorities to save the influential IAS officer, Ruby had demanded an objective probe into the incident.

Ruby maintained that she was introduced to Jain by Minister of State for Textiles Santosh Gangwar's personal assistant.

She also had accused the Deputy Director of having taken a bribe of Rs five lakh from her in three instalments for issuing her the ID card to facilitate her stay at the institute. She had also said that she was offered Rs 5 crore as bribe. [Paid Rs 5 lakh bribe, says imposter who illegally stayed at IAS academy]
