Another dummy candidate case spotted in BRO exam; UP youth held in Pune

According to the police, the BRO officials detected the impropriety when Kisanlal came to the Pune centre Friday morning for the verification of documents. They found that his face was not matching with the photographs of his admit card used to appear for the examinations conducted earlier, the sleuths said.

The BRO, on verification, found that a person with the name ‘Pushpendra Kumar Kisanlal’ had indeed appeared for the written and physical examinations a few days ago held for a ‘Group C’ position. Police sub-inspector Nitin Rathod, the investigating officer, said, the BRO thus concluded that a dummy candidate had appeared in Kisanlal’s place for the examinations.

Based on a complaint by the BRO, Kisanlal has been booked for cheating. The police have also booked the unidentified dummy candidate who took the tests on behalf of Kisanlal.
