A major scandal has come to light in the Postal Department. As many as 42 candidates have allegedly tampered with their SSLC marks sheets to secure jobs as Rural Dak Sevak in the department.
The department, during last year’s recruitment drive, had invited applications for filling up 1,714 posts of rural postal services across the State and SSLC was the maximum qualification for eligibility criteria. Thousands of candidates from across the State applied for the posts online, and some of the candidates burnished their credentials for the job by tampering with their original obtained marks.
Among the 42 candidates who reported tampering with their marks cards, nearly 27 are from Kalaburagi district, seven are from Yadgir, four from Bidar, two from Sirsi and one each from Raichur and Vijayapura districts.
