'Achievers' outed as frauds, UPSC plans criminal action TIMES NEWS NETWORK New Delhi : Taking a firm stance against two candidates who took the Civil Services Exam 2022 and recently made false claims in media that they had been recommended to all-India services on basis of the exam, the UPSC on Friday said it was contemplating criminal and disciplinary action against both after its probe found them to have forged their documents to buttress their claims. Aysha Makrani from Ali-rajpur, MP, and Tushar from Rewari, Haryana, had claimed to have cleared CSE 2022 by posing as genuinelyselected candidates with similar names-Ayasha Fatima from Dewas, MP, and Tushar Kumar from Bihar-and quoting the same roll numbers. The confusion asto who was the genuinely-selected candidate was widely reported in the media, with the UPSC being blamed for the alleged error. On Friday, the UPSC put out a statement, clarifying that Makrani and Tushar's claims were fake and that they had forged their documents. "By doing so, both Aysha Makrani and Tushar have acted in contravention of the provisions of the Rules of the Civil Services Examination, 2022. Therefore, the UPSC is contemplating both criminal as well as disciplinary penal action against both candidates," it said. The UPSC said its examination system "is robust as well as foolproof and such errors are not possible". Makrani, who claimed to have secured the 184th rank, had, in fact, failed to clear even the preliminary exam-ination stage by scoring 21. 09 marks in General Studies Paper II against the required 66 marks. Tushar did not clear the prelims, having scored just 44. 73 marks in General Studies Paper II. The UPSC on Friday confirmed that Fatima and Tushar from Bihar had secured the 184th and 44th ranks, respectively. Slamming various media outlets for "irresponsibly" reporting the news, it said media should have first verified with it the genuineness of the imposters' claims.
