Summary
The Municipal Corporation of Gurgaon (MCG) terminated four staff members for misconduct involving the misuse of technology. An assistant sanitation inspector (ASI) named Waseem was dismissed for using AI tools to edit field photographs, falsely depicting illegal garbage dumping sites as clean to secure closure of public complaints on a grievance portal. The corporation confirmed the sites were still littered and detected AI indicators like SynthID watermarks on the manipulated images. Additionally, another ASI, Sonu, was dismissed for using GPS-spoofing to mark attendance while absent, and two computer operators were terminated for procedural violations in property cases.
