SOG files FIR against 21 selected PTI 2022 candidates for fake BA, BPED degrees
Jaipur: Rajasthan police's Special Operations Group (SOG) registered an FIR against 21 candidates who allegedly cleared the Physical Training Instructors (PTIs) recruitment exam 2022 using forged educational qualifications, including fake BA and BPED degrees. ADG (SOG) VK Singh said the case, filed on May 22 by SOG's Rajgarh unit, alleges that the accused submitted fabricated BA degrees from Arni University in Himachal Pradesh and backdated BPED (Bachelor of Physical Education) certificates from JS University in Shikohabad, Uttar Pradesh. The irregularities were uncovered during a routine verification process initiated on data shared by Rajasthan Staff Selection Board. SOG officials said the investigation found no records of the 21 candidates in Arni University's graduation rolls between 2016 and 2020—despite each submitting BA degrees purportedly issued during that period. A deeper probe into their BPED qualifications revealed that all submitted certificates from JS University, several of which contained glaring inconsistencies such as mismatched roll numbers, incorrect personal details, and registration anomalies. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Cặp EUR/USD: Đà Tăng? IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Preliminary findings suggest that the accused may have colluded with insiders to obtain fraudulent degrees retroactively, thereby meeting the eligibility criteria for the recruitment process. "This is not just a case of isolated forgery—it points to a deeper nexus between candidates and university authorities," said an SOG officer familiar with the probe. "Ineligible candidates ended up displacing genuine aspirants from govt jobs through deception and manipulation. " According to the FIR, the accused may have also exploited other illegal methods during the PTI recruitment exam, including the use of leaked question papers and proxy candidates. These aspects are now part of an expanded investigation. Among those named in the FIR is a candidate from Jalore, who was previously booked in another fake degree case last year at Sanganer police station, raising further questions about systemic loopholes in vetting applicants. SOG invoked multiple sections of the Indian Penal Code against the accused, including 419 (impersonation), 420 (cheating), 467, 468, and 471 (forgery), 120B (criminal conspiracy), and provisions under Section 66D of the Information Technology Act.

How the EU wants to simplify paperwork for car owners moving abroad
The European Commission wants to roll out digital car registration and "roadworthiness" certificates, plus the better exchange of related data, in order to simplify paperwork for people moving across borders. Advertisement People living in the EU have to register their cars in the country of normal residence. Each country has different rules (which can be consulted here) because there is no EU-wide law on vehicle registration. Car registration certificates are recognised by other EU countries when travelling or moving there, but re-registration is usually required if people move to another EU member state long-term. Currently, authorities keep relevant data in national registers, but the Commission says, some data is not available in all national registers, nor is not up to date. It also says the exchange of information between EU member states is limited, also because most documents are still on paper. The Commission's new proposal aims to improve the situation by issuing digital registration certificates and linking national registers. These should include additional data, such as odometer readings, which measure how many km a car has done to avoid frauds such as making used vehicles appear to have lower mileage. Periodic technical inspection certificates Car owners in Europe also have to keep their vehicles in 'roadworthy condition' and obtain related certificates. These certificates are recognised across the EU for the purposes of free circulation and re-registration. The Commission has now introduced the possibility to have a roadworthiness test carried out and certificates issued in a member state other than that of registration. This will be valid for six months to 'give flexibility for people staying temporarily in another member state'. Advertisement This option, however, will be available under the condition that the next roadworthiness test (PTI) will take place in the country of registration. Member states will also have the possibility to recognise PTIs carried out in other EU country indefinitely. The Commission has not proposed to fully recognise PTI certificates across the EU because, it said, more uniform rules would be needed and there could be impacts in terms of pricing in different EU countries. The proposals are part of a package of measures put forward last week that will have to be endorsed by the European Parliament and Council. The Commission also proposed to introduce periodic technical inspections for electric vehicles and driver-assistance systems, tougher testing methods for high-emitting vehicles, mandatory PTI for motorcycles above 125 cm3 or 11kW (currently not required in all countries) and annual inspections for cars and vans over ten years old. At present, most EU countries apply annual testing to cars and vans above 10 years and some after 3 or 4 years. In the 11 member states where these rules are not in place, the Commission estimates that their introduction will lead to around 1 per cent reduction in fatalities and injuries and 15 per cent reduction in the number of highly polluting vehicles. 'The EU is firmly committed to cutting road fatalities and serious injuries by 50 per cent by 2030… By modernising our roadworthiness rules we are harnessing the latest technology, strengthening enforcement, and ensuring they keep pace with the evolving realities of mobility,' said EU transport Commissioner Apostolos Tzitzikostas.
