TIMES NEWS NETWORK

Chennai: Police have arrested a 52-year-old man from Avadi for submitting fake documents to get a promotion in the Tamil Nadu Khadi Craft Board in 2008.

The man, identified as V Koteeshwara Rao, a resident of Paruthipattu near Avadi, had submitted fake documents to get a promotion when he worked in the Khadi Craft Board in Vellore division.

The forgery came to light after his name was considered for the post of assistant director in the Khadi Craft Board and his credentials were sent for verification recently.

Officials at the board replied that Rao had not passed the examination held by it, which is one of the criteria for promotion.

A assistant manager Sudarsan subsequently lodged a police complaint with Chennai city police commissioner A K Viswanathan and it was forwarded to the central crime branch of the city police.

Officials investigated the matter and confirmed that Rao had forged the documents.

When police questioned Rao, he confessed to having committed the offence. Rao was arrested and remanded in judicial custody after being produced before a magistrate court in the city on Saturday.
