34 ST students from Tripura accused of submitting false IT certificate for scholarship

Agartala, Apr 3 (UNI) Tripura Tribal Welfare department has issued show cause notices to 34 students for submitting false income tax certificate to avail scholarship and asked them to explain why FIRs should not be lodged against them for alleged forgery.
Show cause has given 15 days time to submit their responses after they were allegedly found to have applied for ST Post-Matric Scholarship for 2023-24 through the National Scholarship Portal (NSP) using fake income certificates, said Director of Tripura Tribal Welfare Department Subhasish Das.
It has been revealed from the inquiries conducted by competent administrative authorities that 34 students had applied for ST Post-Matric Scholarship for 2023-24 through the NSP, uploading fake income certificates. The production of such fake income certificates to usurp scholarship grants constitutes misappropriation of public money, document forgery, and defrauding, Das stated.
“It amounts to a criminal offence; and therefore, the accused students are hereby asked to show cause as to why FIRs shall not be lodged against them for having submitted fake income certificates through the NSP with the motive of falsely establishing their claims for ST Post-Matric Scholarship”, the notice reads.
Their reply, if any in defence, shall reach the undersigned in writing no later than the 16th April, 2025, failing which actions shall ensue against them ex parte, it stated, adding that among the accused students, 3 were from Gomati, 4 from Khowai, 8 from West Tripura, 13 from Sepahijala, 2 are from Dhalai, one each from North and Unakoti districts and two from South Tripura.
