In a very interesting story of using fraudulent means to get selected to All India Service but the person is caught as the CBI has registered a case against the said IRS officer who cleared UPSC examination over a decade ago. As per CBI, the accused, a native of Bihar, was overage to apply for UPSC examination and got himself a new identity to beat the system.

He cleared the exam and was allocated the IRS (Customs and Central Excise) and was at last count, posted at the GST office in Kolkata. Then, someone complained. In a FIR registered by the CBI this week, the agency said the IRS officer was known by a different name for a larger part of his childhood and youth in Bihar’s West Champaran district.

But when he changed his name, the Bihar man did not bother to change his father’s name or his address. The CBI says that it had come across documents which indicate that he had done his schooling from the Jawahar Navodya Vidyalaya at Bettiah. 

The FIR has also alleged manipulation of documents, pointing that the officer got into the civil services in response to a public notice for examination in 2006. But the graduation degree that he was in his personal file indicates he got his BA (Hons) degree two years later.
