yes he is in legal trouble since forging a government security is a serious offence and attracts a punishment of up to life imprisonment under section 467 of the Indian penal code. you are advised to seek legal opinion in the matter as to how to proceed further in the matter.

It is a grave offense to give false certificate and on the basis of false certificate obtain benefits which otherwise you were not entitled to. If complaint has been filed, there will be an enquiry, if found guilty criminal as well as civil cases can be filed against the accused person. Should you have any questions please feel free to contact me.
