After this there is Hari Kishore Ram, Rajkishore Ram, Lalit Ram, Rajnandan Ram. His remaining four brothers and mother still somehow earn their living by working hard in the village. While Lalit led a luxurious life by becoming a fake IAS, his family members live in a hut-like house. He is said to have stopped coming and going home since 2017. He came on the day of Shraddha ceremony after his father’s death and left the next day. He used to call the house trash and said that he didn’t want to live here. All four brothers live in a hut on a plot of land. There is not even land for farming. For a few days, Lalit also ran a coaching center in the village in which he taught children by charging only Rs 30. But he charged no fees from poor children. Lalit also changed his name to Gaurav Kumar Singh to become a fake IAS. He spent up to Rs 5 lakh every month to shed his fake prestige. Using this guise, he committed fraud in places like Bihar, Jharkhand and Uttar Pradesh, etc. He himself was driving a white Innova. He even installed red beacon and blue beacon on that car. He also put together a private team of 10-15 people at his own expense. Some worked as stenos and others as guards, drivers, etc. Lalit took the first step to walk on the wrong path in Banka. He reached Banka in 2017 and started providing free tuition and coaching to poor students there. People began to feel that he wanted to do something for society, but his planning was something else. He opened a coaching institute named Aditya-50. Children from poor families start teaching there. Then he settled well in the education department of Patna. He used to issue letters from the department in the name of free coaching. Using these letters, he even conducted entrance exams in government schools of the district. To give confidence to the students, he also kept honoring the meritorious students of Matriculation and Intermediate from time to time. When he realized that the people here began to trust him, he started his real work. He started taking money from people on the pretext of getting them jobs, getting B.Ed and getting admission in various courses. He is said to have collected more than two crore rupees from many people from Banka and escaped from Banka overnight on May 1, 2023. It is said of him that he did not even abandon his loved ones. He also cheated the owner of the house where he lived on a rent of Rs 10 lakh. He also borrowed two lakh rupees from Tamanna Kumar, who ran a computer shop near Banka Guest House and ran away. Lalit alias Gaurav also loved girls. Arrested as a fake IAS, Lalit alias Gaurav was also fond of girls. He is said to chat with many girls on his cell phone. He is said to have four girlfriends. If we look at his long chats, it is revealed that he also got three girls pregnant. Let us tell you that about five-six years ago, Lalit eloped with a girl in the Janaki temple of Sitamarhi and married her. He was also sued for this. The brother-in-law was the mastermind of the whole affair. According to the information, his brother-in-law Abhishek was the mastermind behind Lalit alias Gaurav becoming a fake IAS. He helped him a lot. Abhishek Kumar, son of Rakesh Singh, resident of Ramnagara village in Riga police station area of the district, was a software engineer, so he did good work on software. Lalit Kishore Ram had a love marriage with Abhishek Kumar’s sister. Lalit Kishore Ram used to work as a teaching teacher. During this time, he fell in love with Abhishek’s sister and eloped with her, whom he later married. Abhishek used to give fake ID, name plate and other documents to Lalit alias Gaurav and he called him Steno Babu. He used to prepare forged documents by paying money to fraudsters. But since the age of AI has come, it has become quite easy to prepare all this. From newspaper clippings to government tenders, he started preparing everything with the help of AI.
