Woman Arrested in Palghar for Using Fake Disability Certificate to Secure Government JobPreviousNext

A woman named Rupali Tengle was arrested in Palghar district for allegedly obtaining a Zilla Parishad Group C Laboratory Technician job using a fake disability certificate. She had submitted a certificate claiming deafness, which initially led to her appointment in October 2024. However, a later hospital letter revealed the certificate was not approved by the official Medical Board, resulting in her termination in June 2024 and subsequent police action. Tengle is currently in police custody.
