My friend has cleared the UPSC prelims 2016. Last week he was caught for drink and drive.no damage was caused to either the people around or property and even him. The cops registered a FIR and i bailed him out. Next day taken to the court pleaded guilty and paid fine.He is in a lot of depression has worked a lot for the exam.The cops and a couple of lawyers around said this will not affect it as it does not have an element of moral turpitude.what is that and can anyone confirm about it. Will he be disqualified..hes terrified and needs help can some1 tell us about the conviction and his chances of disqualification

Hello Piyush,

I would like to know the current situation of your friend as I am facing the same issue now. I have also paid a fine of Rs. 2000 in the same case of drunk driving. I have cleared the exam and I am in a state of trauma. Please reply about what happened.

Thanks in advance.
