Police Recruitment: Mumbai Police: मुंबई पुलिस की भरती में पकड़ा गया 'मुन्नाभाई'..

MUMBAI: The Mulund police arrested two men for reportedly impersonating and making fake rubber stamps of senior police authorities to forge identity cards. They used the stamps to make fake identity cards to attend the physical test in the ongoing police constable recruitment exams on December 23. The officials at the police headquarters are the signing authority that issues the cards to the candidates appearing for the job.

The accused Mangesh Satpute (28) from Dharavi, who had applied for the job, made his childhood friend Rohan Bheke (22) to appear for the physical test that was held at Bhandup complex in Mulund on Saturday. "Satpute tried to take advantage of the fact that he looks similar to his friend Bheke. He made Bheke his dummy to appear for the physical test after forging the ID card and swapping their photographs," Mulund police senior inspector Jivajirao Jadhav said. However, Mulund police Sub-inspector Laxman Sable and other officers going through the candidates' papers found discrepancies in Satpute's ID. "Their fraud came to light when officials found the stamp that says 'Police nyalaya' instead of 'mukhyalaya'. Mukhyalaya is the police HQ that issues the hall tickets and the ID cards to the candidates," Jadhav said.
