Times: Chandigarh: Monday, 02 March 2015.
Police on
Saturday arrested an assistant administrative officer (AAO) of the
Post-Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER) for
allegedly producing fake documents to get a job at the PGIMER in 2009.
The accused
has been identified as Dinesh Kumar, a resident of Sector 24, Chandigarh. He
was working as the AAO at the institute.
According to
police, complainant Sanjay Trikha, an administration officer at the the
Post-Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research, levelled allegations
against the accused for producing the false documents.
Police said
the accused was earlier employed as an accountant with the Punjab State
Warehousing Corporation (PSWC) on contractual basis.
He had
applied for the post of the AAO at PGIMER in 2009, and to join the institute,
he had to obtain a no objection certificate (NOC) from the PSWC.
Though the
NOC had to be submitted after signing the document by the PSWC, Dinesh himself
signed the certificate and submit it to PGIMER.
The matter
came to the fore after the employees’ union of the institute filed an RTI,
which reads that an employee cannot submit the NOC. After receiving the
complaint, the forensic lab team of Chandigarh Police found the signatures on
the NOC fake, and that it didn’t belong to any official of the Punjab State
Warehousing Corporation.
Meanwhile,
acting on the complaint, a case under section 420 (cheating), 467 (forgery of
valuable security), 468 (forgery for purpose of cheating), 471 (using as genuine
a forged) of the Indian Penal Code has been registered against accused at
Sector-11 police station.
