250 recruited in Delhi Police on fake licences

Around 250 people selected for 676 vacancies of drivers in Delhi Police last year had submitted fake or forged licences for securing the job, an investigation has revealed.

Police have so far filed cases against five of them and are in the process of registering more FIRs as investigations are on, a senior police official said.

Cases of cheating and forgery have been registered against Hari Om, Deepak Deswal, Dalip Singh Jat, Lalit Kumar and Sanjeet Kumar at the IP Estate police station on separate complaints by Ishwar Singh, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Establishment) on March 30.

In one of the cases, the applicant allegedly forged the licence of a woman in Manipur.

Delhi Police had issued advertisements to fill up 676 vacancies of drivers in the rank of Constables in February 2009.

"We provisionally selected 676 drivers subject to verification of their driving licences. However, we found that 250 of them have submitted fake or forged documents. Five cases have been registered and may be, some more will be filed," the official said.

However, he claimed, they had not joined the job as verification process were on. "Normally every year during recruitment, we find four to five cases. But in this case, the number is very high," he said.

In the case of Hari Om, the official claimed, he submitted a heavy driving licence from Jammu Kashmir having its validity till December 2014 but during verification it came to light that it was issued in the name of one Nazir Ahmed Kaloo for light vehicles and motorcycles.
