A former employee of the Registrar General’s Office has been sentenced to 14 months imprisonment for causing an unauthorized modification of data.
40-year-old Poe Dalituimua who was charged by FICAC had pleaded guilty to his charge.
The court was told that Dalituimua who is a full time law student caused an unauthorized modification of data held in a computer at the Births, Deaths and Marriages Registry by creating a false birth registration number for one Hari Krishna.
The incident happened in February 2013 while he was a temporary relieving clerical officer at the Registrar General’s Office.
Meanwhile, Hari Krishna who was charged by FICAC with inciting an unauthorized modification of data and information from false documents will stand trial from 13th to 15th September.
Krishna allegedly urged Dalituimua of the Births, Deaths and Marriages Registry to create a false birth registration for him.
It is also alleged that Krishna between 5th February 2013 and 31st January 2014 in Ba dishonestly gave a false date of birth to the Land Transport Authority in the form of a Birth Certificate with the intention of obtaining a gain.
