Forgery Unveiled: Woman Loses Job Over Fake Disability Certificate

Rupali Tengle was arrested for allegedly obtaining a job with a fake disability certificate. She had applied for a technician role in Palghar using a counterfeit document, eventually leading to her job termination and arrest after the forgery was detected by health officials.

In a startling case of forgery, a woman from Pune has been apprehended for allegedly securing employment through deceptive means. Rupali Tengle, who had obtained a Group C Laboratory Technician position, was found to have used a fake disability certificate in Palghar district.

The fraudulent document, which Tengle claimed was issued by a government medical body in Dhule, enabled her to top the merit list under a special disability category. Her deceit went unnoticed until December 2024, when it was revealed that the certificate did not have the required approval from the official Medical Board.

Following a complaint by Health Assistant Administrative Officer Monika Dwarkanath Raut, Tengle's employment was annulled, and she was arrested. Authorities are investigating further as Tengle remains in police custody, facing charges that highlight the rigorous checks needed in hiring processes.
