This revelation came from a letter by Rajesh Agrawal, Secretary, Department of Social Justice and Empowerment, Ministry of Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities. In a letter to the state’s Chief Secretary, Sudhanshu Pant, Agrawal stated that the investigation found that the disability certificates of Rahul Kasana and Pramod were fake, issued by the CMHO, Bharatpur.
Similarly, the case of Mahendra Singh Nain also came to light, who was issued a certificate by the Jodhpur CMHO stating 63% hearing impairment. Still, the SMS Hospital investigation found that he had no hearing impairment. Additionally, 40 other disability certificates are under scrutiny and require re-examination.
