BSF constable booked for cheating in entrance test

GURUGRAM :A constable with the Border Security Force (BSF), who had been undergoing training at BSF 95 battalion camp in Bhondsi for more than four months, had allegedly got into the service after an impersonator cleared the written and physical tests, the police said on Tuesday.

The constable enrolled with the BSF in April 2017 and had undergone 25 weeks of basic training before the fraud was detected in March 2018, according to the FIR.

The constable’s signature and thumb impression were found not to be matching with the ones in the original documents submitted at the time of the admission, said Umesh Kumar, SHO of Bhondsi police station.

“The accused, Lwith Brahma, hailing from Assam, is on the run,” he said.

The constable has been missing from the training camp since May 10, 2018.

According to an inquiry report from the fingerprint division of CFSL, the constable’s fingerprint and signature, recorded just before he went missing, did not match with the ones in the record.

A BSF official said the fraud was detected during a routine examination, in which the constable’s height was found to be less than the height required to join the BSF.

out at chief minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Tuesday, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convener Arvind Kejriwal yet again accused the CM of seeking votes in the name of cow.

“Khattar is not a person who worships cow, but is seeking votes in its name,” Kejriwal said as he addressed a meeting at Shree Gaushala at Data village in Hisar district.

Reiterating that the Haryana government had failed to provide proper fodder for the animal, Kejriwal said, “The CM must announce ₹40 daily per cow in Haryana on the lines of the Delhi government. The Haryana government is spending only 40 paisa a day per cow.” He added that he has extended an invitation to the Haryana CM to visit Delhi to check the condition of government schools, hospitals, gaushala and other government facilities.

“I have seen poor condition of government-run schools and hospitals in the state. If AAP is voted to power in Haryana, a good amount will be spent for proper health and food facilities for cow on a daily basis,” Kejriwal said.
