UP: Teacher got job on fake documents, arrested

LUCKNOW: Uttar Pradesh Special Task Force (UPSTF) on Sunday claimed to have arrested another man who has been working as a teacher in government school after grabbing a job through use of documents of another person already employed in the same department.
The arrested man, Manoj Jaiswal, had fraudulently obtained marksheets and certificates of one Krishna Narayan Gupta and was working in Siddharthnagar for the last 12 years.
In the last three years, 500 teachers who got jobs using fake documents have been arrested by UP STF. Cops also recovered fake marksheet, and other educational certificates.
Deputy SP, STF, Lal Pratap Singh, said that based on the informer's tip-off Manoj was arrested from Doomariyaganj on late Saturday night.
"During interrogation Manoj revealed that he met one Ghanshyam Tiwari, who further introduced him to one Dev Kumar Upadhyay in 2011.Upadhyay was employed as a clerk at BSA Siddharthnagar office," said the officer, based on the revelation made by Manoj.
"Upadhyay persuaded Manoj to join as an assistant teacher using educational documents of Krishna Narayan in 2012," said the officer.
Sources in the STF also said that the clerk who got the job and doled out the education certificates of Krishna Narayan, who is already a government teacher, is under the scanner and he will also be questioned. STF sources also said that they were tracing the money trail involved in the case.
