Amritsar, June 29

The rural police have booked a man for allegedly getting a job the Army on the basis of fake documents. He was identified as Partap Singh, a resident of Butar Sevian village here.

He was booked following investigation carried out by the DSP, Jandiala. The probe revealed that he got recruited in the Army on the basis of duplicate certificates in the name of Gopal Singh. He had been employed in the Army for the past nine years. Gopal Singh was currently in Malaysia and he could not clear the test and physical trials.

A case under Sections 419, 420, 465, 467, 468 and 471 of the IPC was registered on the complaint submitted by Baldev Singh, who is a resident of Mehta. ASI Udham Singh, who is investigating the case, said Gopal and Partap Singh were known to each other as they both used to attend trials. However, Partap was overage and could not appear for the examination and therefore he forged the documents of Gopal Singh and got recruited in the Army. He said they were writing to the Army in this connection and would issue a notice to him for joining the probe.
