Patna, Jan 11 (IANS): A man posing as a Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) teacher was arrested in Darbhanga district after his personal documents were found to be fake, an official said on Thursday.

The accused has been identified as Devendra Kumar Mahto who wanted to join the government middle school in Kharadi village under Baheri police station in the district.

During the biometric test, his data, including Aadhar number 621103530364, BPSC roll 221192 and teacher ID BPDAR2317197691, mismatched with the finger prints, photograph and retina scanning.

We have handed over to Laheriasarai police station for further legal action,” said Shivshankar Kumar, the duty magistrate of Darbhanga.
