Bihar Man Arrested for Falsely Claiming UPSC Rank Amid Protests Over Unequal Treatment

Ranjeet Yadav, a resident of Fatehpur village in Sheikhpura district, Bihar, was arrested for falsely claiming to have secured the 440th rank in the 2025 UPSC Civil Services Examination. His claim led to local celebrations and media attention before verification revealed the rank belonged to another candidate. Following the discovery, police summoned Yadav, who initially fled but was later arrested.
