Olympian Ankit Sharma Booked For Forged Documents

Olympian athlete Ankit Sharma has been booked for allegedly using forged documents to secure a government job in Morena, Madhya Pradesh. The complaint was filed by his father-in-law at City Kotwali, who alleged that Sharma had tampered with his documents to show a different age.

According to the complaint, Sharma had shown a difference of about five years in his date of birth to get the job as an income tax inspector. The complainant provided the police with Sharma's school transfer certificate and marksheets, obtained through the Right to Information (RTI), which allegedly showed the discrepancy.

The police have registered a case and are verifying the authenticity of the documents and other facts, including the date of birth recorded in them. They have also launched a search for Sharma.

However, Sharma's family has denied all the allegations, saying that they are baseless and a conspiracy to frame him. The family claimed that there is a dispute between Sharma and his in-laws regarding his divorce, and this dispute is being used to falsely accuse him.

The police are conducting a thorough investigation into the matter, and further legal action will be taken based on the documents, statements, and other evidence. The investigation is ongoing, and it is not yet clear whether any falsification of documents occurred or whether the allegations are true.

Ankit Sharma is a well-known athlete who has represented India in international events. The allegations against him have come as a shock to the sports community.

The case highlights the importance of verifying documents and ensuring their authenticity, especially in cases where government jobs are involved. It also raises questions about the use of forged documents and the consequences of such actions.

The police investigation is expected to reveal more details about the case and the allegations against Sharma. The outcome of the investigation will be closely watched by the sports community and the public.

In conclusion, the booking of Olympian Ankit Sharma for allegedly using forged documents is a serious matter that requires a thorough investigation. The allegations against him are denying by his family, and the police are working to verify the facts and determine the truth.
