Trilok had submitted a representation to SSC on July 20, 2022, claiming discrepancies in her CGL-2021 Tier-I exam results. She asserted that despite scoring above the cut off, she was not shortlisted for the next stage, the FIR read.

However, during verification, the commission found that the marks sheet submitted by her was tampered with. While her actual normalized score was 46.77, the forged document showed an inflated score of 103.01, it read.
