Bengaluru, Dec 29: A youth from Belagavi has arrested in Bengaluru by police for allegedly forging PM Narendra Modi’s signature in a letter sent to the Karnataka HC registry recommending that he be given a typist’s job.
Vidhana Soudha police said Sanjay Kumar Uded, 30, working with a private firm, was arrested after high court deputy registrar Rajeshwari filed a complaint.
Police said Sanjay allegedly prepared a recommendation certificate from the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) and forged Modi’s signature after downloading their samples from the internet.
The letter from Dharwad reached the registrar’s office by post in February. It ‘directed’ the registry to give Sanjay a typist’s job. A special team arrested the accused from Belagavi.
Court officials were shocked to see a letter from the PM. “They sent the letter to the high court vigilance wing for verification. The team spoke to the PMO, which confirmed no recommendation letter had been dispatched,” said police.
“Sanjay has completed a typewriting course. He was looking for a government job and thought he will get one easy if he faked a recommendation letter from the PM’s office,” a police officer said.
