The case relates to Ayasha Makrani (from Madhya Pradesh) and Tushar (from Bihar) who fraudulently claimed that they have been finally recommended by the Commission in the civil services examination 2022 against two roll numbers of genuinely recommended candidates, it said. ‘The claims of both persons are fake. They have forged the documents in their favour to buttress their claims’, said the statement issued on Friday.
By doing so, both Ayasha Makrani and 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 and Training), it said.
