Man Fakes UPSC Result to Attend IAS Training at Lal Bahadur Shastri National Academy

A man from Saran, Bihar, arrived at LBSNAA with a forged UPSC result. He claimed to be a victim of fraud, having paid for a fake exam and interview.

A man arrived at the Lal Bahadur Shastri National Academy of Administration (LBSNAA) with a forged UPSC result, claiming he was qualified for civil services training. This prompted an investigation by authorities. The man, identified as Pushpesh Singh from Saran, Bihar, had been deceived by fraudsters, officials reported.

Upon investigation, it was revealed that Singh, who worked at a private company in Gurugram, had fallen victim to a scam. He encountered individuals in Gurugram who demanded Rs 13,000 in cash and Rs 14,564 via UPI in two payments for the exam and interview process. However, both were fraudulent.

Fake Result and Investigation

Singh received a counterfeit result through WhatsApp, falsely notifying him of his selection and directing him to report to the academy for training. When Singh and his parents arrived at LBSNAA with his belongings, the academy administration alerted Mussoorie Police about the fake result.

Senior police officers promptly arrived at the LBSNAA premises. The Local Intelligence Unit of Mussoorie and IB teams were also summoned to assist in the investigation. Police swiftly questioned Singh and initiated an inquiry into the incident.

Legal Action and Transfer

Based on Singh's complaint, a zero FIR was filed under relevant sections of the BNS. The case was then transferred to Gurugram for further investigation. Authorities are working to uncover more details about the fraudsters involved in this scam.

This incident highlights the need for vigilance against such scams targeting individuals aspiring for civil services. Authorities are urging people to verify information through official channels to avoid falling prey to similar fraudulent activities.
