In a shocking revelation, a man from the Nerwa tehsil of Shimla district has been accused of securing a Trained Graduate Teacher (TGT) job by using a forged Scheduled Caste (SC) certificate. The accused, Roshan Lal, allegedly hails from the general category but submitted fake documents to claim a position reserved for the SC community.

The fraudulent activity, which dates back to 2009, came to light after a complaint was filed by the Scheduled Caste Unemployed Association. According to the association, Roshan Lal, a resident of Chilrana village in Nerwa, managed to secure the TGT (Arts) post by presenting the fake certificate and continued to work in the position for several years, all while maintaining the illusion of eligibility.
