Ramanathapuram Town police have registered a case of forgery and cheating against Head constable M. Murugan for having produced forged documents to illegally claim quota under Most Backward Classes category.
Murugan, who was working in Abiramam police station in Kamuthi sub-division of Ramanathapuram district, is presently working in Madurai rural district. Ramanathapuram Superintendent of Police Varun Kumar said he received a complaint through WhatsApp about the forgery committed by Murugan when he joined the State police in April 1997.
