Rajasthan MLA Faces New Forgery Probe Over Documents
A politician in Rajasthan, India, named Jaykrisn Patel is in trouble.
He's already in jail for something else, but now there are new accusations.
Someone thinks he lied on some important papers, like the ones he used to run for office and his school records.
It looks like he said he wasn't married when he really was, which helped him get benefits.
Also, he might have claimed to have graduated from two different schools in the same year!
The government is going to look into this to see if he did anything wrong.
If the claims are true, he could lose his job in the government.
An inquiry is underway into alleged forgery of documents by BAP MLA Jaykrisn Patel.
Patel is currently jailed in connection with a 'cash-for-questions' scam.
Discrepancies include his marital status and educational records.
He declared himself unmarried in an election affidavit, contradicting a 2018 ration card.
Parliamentary Affairs minister Jogaram Patel said a thorough investigation is warranted.
