A 35-year-old, accused of impersonating his late cousin to get a job in the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), committed suicide in Buldhana district on Tuesday morning. The accused identified as Mangesh Pere, was booked by the Mulund police on September 28.

In 2013, the BMC held a recruitment drive for the post of security guards. One Dinesh Pralhad Pere from Buldhana, who had applied, got the job following scrutiny of his documents. He was subsequently posted at BMC’s Training Center for Security Force at Khindipada in Mulund.
