Two UP cops booked for using fake certificates to get jobs

Kanpur, Sep 1 (IANS)  Two constables have been booked by Chakeri police in Uttar Pradesh's Kanpur for using fake caste certificates to get jobs in the police department.

According to the complaint of Deputy Superintendent of Police Uttar Pradesh Police Recruitment and Promotion Board Lucknow, Syed Mohammad Asghar, the department had conducted a recruitment drive for the posts of Reserve Civil Police and Reserve Territorial Constabulary in October 2018.
