A Rajasthan forest guard was arrested for allegedly using a dummy candidate to clear the 2022 Forest Guard recruitment exam and secure a government job. Police also linked her to an earlier alleged REET exam fraud. Investigation into the recruitment scam is ongoing.
Rajasthan: A woman posted as a forest guard in Rajasthan has been arrested for allegedly securing a government job by using a dummy candidate to write the Forest Guard Recruitment Examination, according to a report by Hindustan Times.
The accused, identified as Pramila (29) from Rajasthan’s Jalore district, was arrested on Tuesday by the Rajasthan Police’s Special Operations Group (SOG). Investigators alleged that she fraudulently obtained the post after another person appeared on her behalf in the recruitment examination.
According to Hindustan Times, quoting Additional Director General of Police (SOG) Vishal Bansal, the Forest Guard Recruitment Examination-2020, conducted by the Rajasthan Staff Selection Board, was held in 2022. During the investigation, the SOG found that Pramila had allegedly arranged a dummy candidate to appear in the written exam held on November 13, 2022, at Kankroli in Rajsamand district. Based on the results, she was selected for the forest guard post.
The investigation further revealed that Pramila had also allegedly attempted a similar fraud during the Rajasthan Eligibility Examination for Teachers (REET)-2021. Acting on a tip-off, Sindhi Camp Police in Jaipur reportedly intercepted both Pramila and the dummy candidate before the examination and registered a criminal case against them.
