Fake papers: 12 PCR constables dismissed after 13 yrs of service

New Delhi:  16.11.2021

As many as 12 Delhi Police constables posted in the PCR (Police Control Room) unit as drivers were dismissed from their duty, after almost 13 years of service, following a departmental inquiry over allegations of having submitted fake driving licences and documents during their recruitment in 2007.

A senior police officer said that a case was registered against the constables at Model Town police station for forging driving licences to get the job in Delhi Police by “deceitful means”. The dismissal order stated that the 12 constables are unfit for service.

According to the police, more than 81 candidates had applied for the job in 2007 and several tests were conducted before the selected individuals received their appointment letter.

An order issued by Delhi Police, signed by DCP Pankaj Kumar (operations and PCR), stated: “It has clearly been proven that the delinquent constables (drivers) deliberately and knowingly submitted a forged/fake driving licence by adopting deceitful means to seek recruitment. They all gave their residential address of Mathura in their licence, there’s no record of their residence in Mathura. It shows that the constables procured licences by adopting forged mean.” TNN
