IAS ‘pretender’ sent to jail for two weeks
6 April 2015 4:23 AM IST
Ruby Chaudhry, the woman who stayed at the prestigious IAS training academy in Mussoorie for over six months masquerading as a probationer and accused a senior officer of taking bribe to facilitate her stay there, has been arrested and sent to jail on Saturday for two weeks.
Judicial Magistrate Chavi Bansal sent Chaudhry to judicial custody for 14 days after she was produced before her hours after her arrest late last night, SP (city) Ajay Singh said. She was arrested from a city hotel by the SIT probing the case for offences under sections 420 (cheating, dishonesty), 467 (forgery of valuable security), 468 (forgery for purpose of cheating), 471 (using as genuine a forged document) and 170 (impersonating as a public servant) of the IPC, Singh said.
The official denied the woman’s allegation that there was an attempt to shield Lal Bahadur Shastri
National Academy of Administration (LBSNAA) Deputy Director Saurabh Jain by authorities as he had held key positions in the administration.
“I can firmly say no one is being protected. Interrogation of the woman goes on and if name of any other person crops up during investigation, he will be quizzed. There is no question of anyone being spared,” Singh said. Jain is the official whom she had accused of issuing her a fake ID card to facilitate her stay at the academy and taking Rs five lakh as part of a Rs 20 lakh deal to get her a job at the institute.
Currently Deputy Director LBSNAA, Jain was earlier District Magistrate of Uttarkashi. Chaudhry on Friday threatened to commit suicide if she does not get justice in the case even as the academy came to the defence of Jain saying all the charges levelled by the woman against the academy and him were “malicious” and “baseless”.
