A young man who attended the Bank of India (BOI) management’s job onboarding for the IBPS 13th Bank Clerk Exam was caught after it was suspected that his biometric photo did not match. The individual, from Bihar, revealed that he had paid 10 lakh rupees to a solver to pass the bank clerk exam. Ravikant Shukla, an officer from the bank’s human resources department, filed a report with the city police.
The accused, Deepak Kumar Paswan, resides in the Danapur area of Patna, Bihar. He secured the job by manipulating four documents. Bank officials informed the police that they matched Deepak Kumar’s available documents and records with his photo. It was discovered that he had altered the original documents, attaching someone else’s photo and taking the exam on behalf of another person.
During initial questioning, Deepak Kumar named Amit Kumar as the solver. He mentioned that he met Amit while preparing for the exam, and Amit had filled out the application for him. After securing the job, Deepak worked for three days but resigned out of fear of getting caught. However, bank officials called him back for rejoining, and he had come to Hardoi on Friday for that purpose. The police have registered an FIR and arrested Deepak Kumar. City CO Ankit Mishra stated that the investigation is ongoing.
