**Headline: Job Aspirants Face Fraud Charges for Using Fake Disability Certificates in Chandigarh**

**Chandigarh, India –** Thirteen individuals, including eight from Haryana, are facing criminal charges in Chandigarh for allegedly submitting fraudulent disability certificates to secure government jobs through the Staff Selection Commission (SSC). The case was registered at Sector-3 Police Station following an order from the Punjab and Haryana High Court.

The complaint was filed by Dheeraj Kumar Ranjan, Under Secretary of the Staff Selection Commission (North Western Region), Chandigarh. The SSC conducts competitive exams, skill tests, and departmental exams for recruitment to Group ‘B’ (Non-Gazetted) and Group ‘C’ (Non-Technical) posts in various ministries, departments, and subordinate offices of the Government of India.

According to the complaint, certain candidates applied for the Combined Graduate Level (CGL) Examination-2024 under the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (RPwD) category, submitting disability certificates as supporting documentation.

The SSC’s subsequent verification process revealed that these certificates purportedly originated from the offices of the Chief Medical Officer-cum-Civil Surgeon in Jind, Haryana, and Fatehpur, Uttar Pradesh. However, the candidates were not residents of these districts, raising immediate red flags.

As a result, the SSC, on January 28, 2025, debarred the candidates for three years under Section 18 of the Examination Notice, which allows for action against candidates found to be engaging in malpractice at any stage of the examination process. The complaint specifically names Sahil, Suraj, Vijay Kumar, Devender Mor, Arjun, and Praveen among the implicated candidates.

Police have registered a case under FIR No. 55 dated 25.06.2025 at Sector-3 Police Station, Chandigarh, invoking sections 420 (Cheating), 511 (Attempting to Commit Offence), 465 (Forgery), 468 (Forgery for Purpose of Cheating), and 471 (Using as Genuine a Forged Document) of the Indian Penal Code. The investigation is currently underway.
