Rajasthan police's Special Operation Group has arrested a physical education teacher who obtained a government post by submitting a forged BPAED degree, allegedly bought through brokers for Rs 1.20 lakh.
The Special Operation Group (SOG) of Rajasthan Police detained a physical education teacher in Jaipur after uncovering his use of a counterfeit Bachelor of Physical Education (BPAED) certificate to clear a state recruitment exam. Investigations revealed that the teacher had approached intermediaries who fabricated the degree with an old issuance date, charging him around Rs 1.20 lakh.
According to the police, the forged document enabled the teacher to pass the competitive examination and obtain a permanent government posting. The SOG’s operation, which concluded after a year and a half of the suspect being on the run, involved coordinated raids and verification of educational records across multiple institutions.
Authorities have filed charges of fraud, forgery, and cheating under the Prevention of Corruption Act, emphasizing that such scams undermine the integrity of public recruitment processes. The arrested individual will appear before the court for further legal proceedings.
The case highlights ongoing concerns about fraudulent degree brokers exploiting aspirants seeking stable government employment, prompting calls for stricter verification mechanisms in recruitment drives.
