Rail recruitment: Vadodara police nabs Bihar youth who try to impersonate a candidate

Vadodara: The police have held a youth from Bihar who was allegedly going to appear in the railway recruitment level-1 exam in Vadodara as a dummy candidate by sticking the thumb skin of the original candidate on his thumb.

The exam for recruitment of Gangmen and Sailors of the railway was held at various centers on Monday. The accused Rajyaguru Gupta, a Resident of Bihar was going to appear for the exam at the TCS center in Laxmipura, Vadodara as a dummy candidate on behalf of Manishkumar Shmabhu Prasad (Resident of Bihar). He reached the TCS center along with the original documents of the original candidate Manishkumar.

The duty officer was unable to take the left-hand thumb impression through the biometric device. So, he checked by applying sanitizer to his hand. When the sanitizer was applied, the skin separated from the thumb. So, it was revealed that he had stuck the skin of the actual candidate on his thumb.

It was revealed in the primary inquiry of the accused that the left-hand thumb of the actual candidate was put on a hot Tawa, which caused a blister on it. The accused stuck his skin using a chemical on his left thumb after cutting the skin of the blister.
