IRS officer booked for forging papers in UPSC exam

New Delhi : The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has filed a case against 2008-batch Indian Revenue Service (IRS) officer Navneet Kumar for forging documents to appear in the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) exam as he had crossed the permissible age-limit, CBI officials said on Friday.

Interestingly, it was found that Navneet Kumar''s original name is Rajesh Kumar Sharma but he changed his identity and obtained certificates in the name of Navneet to make himself eligible. Rajesh Kumar is from West Champaran, Bihar.

The agency registered a cheating and forgery case after it received a written complaint where it was alleged that Navneet Kumar entered the service based on forged educational and birth certificates.

Navneet Kumar, son of Jay Narayan Sharma, got selected into the IRS through the 2007 UPSC examination.
