Multiple 'Arpit Singhs' Worked Undetected in UP Hospitals for Nine Years
Imagine six people all pretending to be named Arpit Singh to get jobs as X-ray technicians in different hospitals.
For almost a decade, they worked using fake documents, making it look like they were the same person.
The real Arpit Singh, who has the correct documents, was shocked.
The government discovered the fraud during a check of employee records, and now an investigation is underway.
Officials are trying to figure out how the fake identities went unnoticed for so long and how it all happened.
It is suspected that the fake workers used forged documents to get their jobs.
Six individuals impersonated an X-ray technician named Arpit Singh and worked in various Uttar Pradesh hospitals using forged documents.
The fraudulent appointments occurred in Shamli, Banda, Amroha, Balrampur, Farrukhabad and Rampur.
The discrepancies were discovered during a scrutiny of the state's online personnel records and after media reports.
A health department official filed a complaint with the police, accusing the six men of financial loss.
The 'genuine' Arpit Singh, who resides in Hathras, was surprised by the fraudulent activities.
