An FIR was registered at the Sadar Bazar police station on June 21 under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita sections related to forging documents and cheating. Meenakshi was arrested and later sent to judicial custody.
The training for newly inducted women constables in the Uttar Pradesh police force was set to begin at Saharanpur Police Lines last week when Police Inspector Virendra Bahadur noticed that there was a mismatch in the number of trainees expected to report at the centre. “We were expecting 249 trainees and 250 had arrived. It was one extra,” Bahadur said in his police complaint.
A subsequent investigation led to the arrest of a 22-year-old woman who allegedly forged documents in a bid to join the police force, the police said on Monday, identifying the accused as Meenakshi, an Agra resident.
According to Bahadur, when he checked the documents of the trainees, he realised that there were five women named Meenakshi. “I began checking their documents, and that is when I found that the roll number on the accused’s documents was similar to someone who was training at Amroha. The father’s name in the document also did not match,” he said in his complaint.
An FIR was registered at the Sadar Bazar police station on June 21 under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita sections related to forging documents and cheating. Meenakshi was arrested and later sent to judicial custody.
“She had started preparing for her exams nearly two years ago. Her parents had been taking her to various centres. A few months ago, she informed them that she had been selected and was going to Saharanpur Police Lines for her training,” Rojant Tyagi, Station House Officer, Sadar Bazar police station, told The Indian Express.
According to Tyagi, Meenakshi scanned the documents and forged them using the details of someone who shared her name and had passed the exam. “She edited her roll number with the other Meenakshi who had qualified the exam and reached here,” he added.
