What’s inside:
This article tells the story of a young man from Bihar who got cheated by fraudsters pretending to be UPSC officials.
Pushpesh Singh, a 28-year-old man from Saran district in Bihar, became a victim of a serious cyber fraud. He was working in a private company in Gurugram when scammers contacted him, pretending to be officials from the UPSC. They tricked him into taking a fake online exam and then sent him a fake selection letter, making him believe he had passed.
Feeling successful, Pushpesh and his parents traveled to the Lal Bahadur Shastri National Academy of Administration in Mussoorie, Uttarakhand. When they reached the academy and showed their documents, the officials noticed something was wrong. After checking, they discovered that all the papers Pushpesh had were completely fake.
This shocking news hit Pushpesh and his family hard. They realized they had fallen into a well-planned scam. The police arrived to question them, and it became clear that the fraud was more serious than they had thought. They were not allowed to enter the academy due to the fake documents.
The police took immediate action. They worked with the Local Intelligence Unit and the Intelligence Bureau to investigate further. The SSP of Dehradun, Ajay Singh, mentioned that the scammers had done a good job of making the documents look real by using government seals.
In light of this incident, police are warning civil service candidates to be careful. This is not the first case of fraud related to UPSC. Previous scams have also happened in other states. Candidates are advised to rely only on official websites for information and to verify any appointment letters or results they receive from unknown sources.
