SRINAGAR, Feb 2: Jammu and Kashmir Service Selection Board (JKSSB) today handed over an impersonator to police who was trying to appear in the type test for the post of Junior Assistant in the NIELIT Test Centre in Rangreth, here.
The impersonator namely Lukman Fayaz, son of Fayaz Ahmed Khan of Goddor, Kulgam, was impersonating on behalf of a candidate namely Musaebul Islam, son of Nazir Ahmad Bhat of Shouch, Kulgam.
The accused was apprehended when his credentials were being checked at Biometrics Registration Centre that has been set up by JKSSB for capturing the biometrics of all the candidates before taking the test.
A spokesperson of JKSSB informed that the accused was given Rs 9000 as bribe to impersonate on behalf of a valid candidate. JKSSB has handed over the matter to local SHO for investigation and the original candidate and applicant has been given show cause notice for black listing him for five years and barring him from all future exams of JKSSB.
When contacted the Chairman JKSSB informed that the Board is also verifying another complaint of similar nature which points to the same master mind behind this impersonation business and the matter will be handed over to Crime Branch soon.
Interestingly, biometrics registration has recently been introduced by JKSSB which ensures that the biometrics of the candidate are cross verified, before his actual selection, with his biometrics that were captured on the test date.
