Fake IAS Case: Tripti Singh Also Tutored Civil Service Aspirants In Bhopal

Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh: Police are probing the case of falsified IAS officer Tripti Singh Rajput, who allegedly provided guidance to aspiring civil servants at coaching centers under the guise of teaching at an administrative academy. Following their arrest in Chanderi, Tripti and her brother Sudhanshu were transferred to Bhopal under a production warrant, where they remain in police custody until September 7.

The investigation has uncovered that Tripti had previously interacted with civil service aspirants at multiple coaching institutes, offering advice on preparation, goal-setting, and career choices. It is also alleged that her marriage to the son of a well-known builder was facilitated by her purported teaching role at the administrative academy, which later turned out to be false.

Following the revelation of her deception, Tripti reportedly threatened legal action against her in-laws before separating from her husband. Tripti and Sudhanshu have been charged in various cheating cases, including an alleged fraud of Rs 9.80 lakh where they posed as an MP Tourism additional director and an HR official at the Union government to promise jobs in exchange for money.

Two FIRs have been filed against Tripti at the Baghsewania police station, one of which involves Rohit Lilhare claiming to have lost Rs 39.17 lakh on promises of an MP Tourism resort lease and employment. Another complainant, Gagan Upvanshi, alleged the loss of around Rs 50 lakh by being duped into arranging an MP Tourism hotel lease.

Police recovered a counterfeit CBI card, letterheads, memorabilia linked to a trainee IAS identity, and an SUV bearing "Government of India" from Tripti's residence in Bhopal.
