GST Officer's Disability Certificate Under Probe
A government officer named Prashant Kumar Singh resigned from his job as a GST Deputy Commissioner.
His brother said that Prashant might have used a fake disability certificate to get the job.
The government is now checking if the certificate is real.
Prashant was supposed to go to the doctor for a check-up, but he didn't go twice.
The case is still being looked at by different government offices.
Prashant also resigned because he was upset about some comments made by a religious leader against the Chief Minister of his state.
Prashant Kumar Singh resigned as GST Deputy Commissioner in protest against remarks by Shankaracharya Avimukteshwaranand against Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.
An investigation is underway regarding the authenticity of Singh's disability certificate, initiated after a 2021 complaint by his brother.
Singh allegedly secured his government job using a fake disability certificate.
Singh failed to appear before the divisional disability medical board for assessment twice after being summoned.
The case is currently pending before the Divyangjan Commissioner, the Health Directorate, and other higher institutions.
