Fake Yoga Certificate Case
Chandigarh, February 18 The counsel for the complainants, Harish Bhardwaj, stated that all documents were forged and should be investigated again. The investigating officer, Madhur Verma, submitted that the answers to all the queries were genuine. After listening to the arguments for two hours, the JMIC adjourned the case till February 24. The petitioners, inspector Yash Pal and sub-inspectors Uday Pal, Hardit, Charanjeet, Dilbagh and Dalsher, had challenged the cancellation report, which had been submitted following a departmental inquiry. They had alleged that Ram Gopal had produced a forged and fabricated certificate before the police, stating that he had been declared world champion and gold medal winner during the World Yoga Sport Cup held at Genoa in Italy. Talking to the Chandigarh Tribune, advocate Harish Bhardwaj said, “JMIC Sunil Kumar is the third judge who has been asked to look into the matter. Earlier, the court of JMIC Sumit Ghai had referred the report to the court of chief judicial magistrate J Sidhu. Later, J Sidhu had transferred the case to JMIC Mahesh Kumar.” The complainants had moved the Punjab and Haryana High Court to transfer the case to another court in Punjab recently, stating that Ram Gopal was an influential person and therefore, no judge was ready to intervene in the matter, but the high court had directed the district courts to take up the matter. A preliminary inquiry conducted by DSP (CID) Satbir Singh had found Ram Gopal guilty of producing a fake certificate, but another inquiry conducted by the then ASP, Madhur Verma, had found him not guilty. Following this, a report demanding the cancellation of an FIR against Ram Gopal had been submitted in court. Six cops had then challenged the cancellation report. Prior to that, the matter was with the Central Administrative Tribunal, which had asked the UT administration to inquire into the authenticity of the yoga certificate awarded to Ram Gopal.
