MP’s Ujjain Forest Guard Aspirant Caught Taking Motorcycle Ride During 25-Km Walking Test, Disqualified After Video Evidence

Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh: A forest guard aspirant named Ravindra Sharma found himself disqualified from the recruitment process after being caught taking a motorcycle ride during a 25-kilometer walking test. The incident took place on Saturday during the Forest Guard Recruitment 2026, in which candidates were expected to complete a 25-kilometer walk within four hours.

The test began at Navlakhi Beed Recreation Park and continued on the Panchkoshi route. Instead of walking the entire distance, Sharma accepted a lift from a passing motorcyclist, hoping to evade detection by covering his face with a cloth. However, his deceit was discovered when a forest department team spotted him on the motorcycle and recorded a video, which was then forwarded to the district forest officer, Anurag Tiwari.

Using Sharma's chest number, officials confirmed that the motorcycle passenger was in fact Sharma. As a result, the selection committee disqualified him for violating recruitment rules. The motorcyclist was also apprehended, and his vehicle registration number was recorded. Sharma claimed he had been unwell, but an ambulance was present throughout the walking test to provide medical assistance in case of health issues.

Despite this, Sharma opted for the motorcycle ride instead of seeking medical help. Due to the evidence against him, Sharma was removed from the new recruitment batch, ending his chances in the selection process.
