Mysore. A man was arrested on Thursday for allegedly impersonating his dead brother to work as a co-teacher of a government school in Karnataka’s Mysore district.
Though the accused served as a teacher for 25 years, the education department surprisingly did not get any clue about it.
The arrested person has been identified as Laxman Gowda. The accused had impersonated his brother Lokesh Gowda, who managed to get a government job, but died before joining the service.
Claiming himself to be Lokesh Gowda, the accused joined the government service as a co-teacher of the Government Upper Primary School in Kattemalawadi village near Hunsur town. He has so far served in various schools across the district.
Police said that in 2019, a local journalist, who had got clues about this, had lodged a complaint with the education department.
Thereafter investigation was conducted and the accused was arrested.
The family of the accused did not give information during the investigation.
The district commissioner had directed to file a complaint with the police department.
Piriyapatna police is investigating the matter.
