Chennai: Authorities in Chennai have made a significant arrest following a case of examination impersonation involving the Indian Air Force (IAF). A 25-year-old man identified as Praveen Kumar, originally from Haryana, was taken into custody by the Muthapudupet police on Saturday.

The incident unfolded during an examination held at Avadi, where Praveen was applying for a clerk position with the IAF. According to police reports, an invigilator noticed an inconsistency between Praveenโ€™s photograph and the one displayed on his hall ticket. This prompted further inquiry that led IAF officials to question him about the discrepancies.

During the questioning, Praveen confessed that he had agreed to impersonate another candidate from Uttar Pradesh. He revealed that the arrangement was made in exchange for a substantial sum of moneyโ€”3 lakh rupeesโ€”upon clearing the exam and securing the job.

IAF officials, upon confirming the theft of identity, promptly handed over Praveen to the Muthapudupet police for further legal action. In the course of their investigation, authorities discovered that Praveen had concealed a mobile phone and a Bluetooth device within the examination hall, suggesting he may have had access to external assistance during the test.

The police are currently pursuing leads to track down the individual Praveen was impersonating and to uncover any additional accomplices involved in this scheme. This incident raises concerns about security and integrity in competitive examinations, and officials are emphasizing the importance of stringent measures to prevent such fraudulent activities in the future.
