(MENAFN- Gulf Times) A woman who resided in the Lal Bahadur Shastri National Administrative Academy, Mussoorie in Uttarakhand for over six months posing as an Indian Administrative Service officer has been arrested, an official said yesterday.
Ruby Chowdhary was arrested late Friday night and was initially put under house arrest in Dehradun. But after a go-ahead from the top brass of the state government, she was taken into custody by a team of police officials late in the night, an official said yesterday.
The family and relatives of Chowdhary have already been questioned and her parents have disowned her.
Her father Satyaveer and brother Mohit have been questioned by the Muzaffarnagar police in Uttar Pradesh and a report has been sent to the academy, the official said.
The woman was holed up in a hotel from where she was arrested," the official said.
Director General of Police (DGP) B S Siddhu said nobody will be spared if found guilty.
Meanwhile, the federal ministry of personnel has also sought a report from the academy's top brass on the episode.
Sources say deputy director and Kerala cadre IAS officer Saurabh Jain, who allegedly connived with the woman in getting her a fake IAS ID card is likely to face action.
Chowdhary has alleged that Jain had demanded Rs2mn as bribe to get her a librarian's job at the academy.
She said she had already paid him Rs500,000.
Jain has been maintaining a studied silence on the controversy and is avoiding the media.
