UPSC clarifies about two fraud persons claim that they are recommended

The system of the UPSC is robust as well as foolproof and such errors are not possible, said the Union Public Service Commission.

Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) got information about two persons who have been claiming fraudulently, that they have been finally recommended by the UPSC in the Civil Services Examination, 2022 against two Roll Numbers of genuinely recommended candidates. The claims of both persons are fake and they have forged the documents in their favour to buttress their claims, said UPSC.

The system of the UPSC is robust as well as foolproof and such errors are not possible, added the Commission. 

In these cases, both Ms Aysha Makrani and Mr Tushar have acted in contravention of the provisions of the Rules of the Civil Services Examination, 2022 notified by the Government of India (Department of Personnel & Training). Therefore, in accordance with the provisions of the Examination Rules, the UPSC is contemplating both criminal as well as disciplinary penal action against both candidates for their fraudulent acts.

"The above cases have been reported in the electronic/print media widely. One of such media channels has irresponsibly reported that the UPSC has corrected its mistake in one of the above two cases and investigating the matter as to how such an error has happened. Many other media channels and social media portals have also carried the news without any verification. This is unprofessional on the part of the said media channel. It is reiterated that the UPSC’s system is robust and foolproof to eliminate any such errors of alleged nature. It is expected of the media channels that they verify the genuineness of such claims from the UPSC before broadcasting/publishing news of such fake claims through their print/media channels," reads the official statement.
