understand the case
Manish Kumar and Rajyaguru Gupta have been arrested in India on charges of cheating and forgery, according to local police. The two approximately 20-year-old boys committed fraud in a job selection process, but were discovered in time. More than 600 candidates competed for the vacancy in the railway company.
According to reports, Manish Kumar removed the skin from his thumb with a blade after placing his finger in a hot pan. The idea was to place the torn off fingerprint on his friend's finger. The boy's hope was to pass the biometric verification so that his friend could take the recruitment exam in his place.
Forgery is discovered by recruiter
However, the fraud was discovered by the exam supervisor who sprayed disinfectant on Rajyaguru Gupta's thumb, which caused the skin on the finger to fall off. The recruitment test took place in the Indian city of Vadodara in Gujarat.
Manish Kumar asked his friend to take the test for him because Gupta is studious. For this, he had the idea of forging the false identity from the thumb, since the biometric verification aims to avoid exactly this type of falsehood.
The recruiter became suspicious of Gupta when he noticed that the young man frequently put his left hand in his pocket. So he had the idea of spraying the disinfectant to find out.
The police were immediately called and understood that the boys' conduct fits the crimes of counterfeiting, cheating by ideological falsification and criminal conspiracy, provided for in the Penal Code Indian.
