It is difficult to answer a question like this, which depends wholly on facts of the case, in the absence of having seen the detailed facts of the case. What is the fraud? Is there any loss to the department? What role has been attributed to you? Whether it is negligence attributed to you or your active complicity in the fraud? Was it connected to your lack of expertise in the technical job or was it connected to some general failure to take care or some deliberate or intentional act? Did you protest or refuse to work in the technical job when it was offered to you? It will depend on so many facts, which only a person fully aware of the facts of the case can answer. It would be advisable to consult some local lawyer by showing the full details of the case to him.
