East Champaran district magistrate Saurabh Jorwal assured quick action in the matter and said, “The role of the personnel involved in this fraud, especially the data entry operators, is being investigated, and disciplinary action will be taken if found guilty.”This comes close on the heels of another case from Patna’s Masaurhi region, where a residence certificate was issued in the name of ‘Dog Babu’, which surfaced on social media on Monday.Prompted by the viral post, Patna district magistrate Dr Thiyagarajan S M cancelled the certificate and initiated disciplinary action against the IT assistant, revenue officer, and other block staff.During the investigation, it was found that a certificate had been issued to ‘Dog Babu’ with the digital signature of Murari Chauhan, revenue officer of Masaurhi sub-division in Patna district, through the government’s Right to Public Service (RTPS) portal.The certificate listed the dog’s name as ‘Dog Babu’, the father’s name as “Kutta Babu”, and the mother’s name as “Kutiya Devi”. The address mentioned was Mohalla Kaulichak, Ward No. 15, Nagar Parishad Masaurhi, in Patna district, Bihar.DM Thiyagarajan said, “The IT assistant’s contract has been terminated and he has been removed from service. The revenue officer has been put under suspension.”Meanwhile, the general administration department has alerted all district magistrates against alleged attempts by unscrupulous elements to defame the government.
