Fake IAS officer dupes people in MP: How a Vidhan Sabha vlog exposed her and led to her arrestš§
The most recent case to draw attention is that of Tripti Singh Rajput in Bhopal. Police say she allegedly posed as an IAS officer working as an additional director in the Madhya Pradesh Tourism Department and used that identity to approach people with promises of government jobs, tourism property leases and access to officials.
Her alleged deception came under scrutiny after a video showing three women claiming to be IAS officers circulated online.
In the video, three women are seen talking to the camera and claiming to be IAS officers. One of them says they had come to attend the Madhya Pradesh Vidhan Sabha but were filming outside because photography was not allowed inside.
Another woman jokes that nobody would believe they were IAS officers by looking at their behaviour. The police investigation later found that the video was not filmed outside the Vidhan Sabha as claimed.
The location was traced to a gallery inside the Anthropological Museum complex. The two other women later told police that Rajput had asked them to act as IAS officers. They also
alleged that Rajput had taken 73 lakh from each of them on the promise of helping them become
IAS officers.
Rajput was arrested on August 23 by Chanderi police in Ashoknagar along with her brother Sudhanshu Singh. Police have registered multiple FIRs in Bhopal and Ashoknagar.
