(MENAFN- Kashmir Observer) Mussoorie- A man with a fake UPSC result that showed him as qualified for civil services arrived at the Lal Bahadur Shastri National Academy of Administration (LBSNAA) here on Saturday for training, prompting authorities to launch an investigation into the matter, officials said.

During a preliminary inquiry, it came to light that the man from Saran in Bihar, Pushpesh Singh, who worked at a private firm in Gurugram, had been a victim of a fraud, they said.

According to police, Singh claimed that he came into contact with some people in Gurugram who took Rs 13,000 in cash and Rs 14,564 via UPI from him in two instalments for giving the exam and the interview, which were all fake.

He was then sent a forged result via WhatsApp, informing him of his selection and instructing him to report to the academy for training, they said.
