Imposter Posing as DANICS Officer Arrested
On 9-6-15, a PCR call
was received by the caller Anurag Gahlot.
The call mentioned that a DANICS officer is manhandled by the public at Jaipur
rattan Kendra, Mangal Bazar road, Bindapur. At this, the SHO Binadapur and IO/ASI Shivnaresh reached the spot and came to
know that there is a quarrel between the shopkeeper and caller Anurag Gahlot and the matter has
been sorted out. They have given a
written statement also that the matter amongst them is sorted out and settlement
is done. The caller Anurag Gahlot introduced himself to
the police officers as DANICS 2008 batch officer working as Assistant
Commissioner sales Tax ( D-VAT ). He was
flashing an Identity card in his neck of Ministry of Home affairs and gave his
visiting card to the IO in which Ministry of Home affairs was mentioned
alongwith the National Emblem.
From his behavior and action Anurag
Gahlot looks suspicious, as such an enquiry
regarding his identity was started.
Civil list of DANICS was examined and his name was not found. Enquiry from sales D-VAT section, enforcement
directorate was done and they also denied of anyone by this name and identity
working there. He was contacted over phone on 12th of june and he
said that he is in MHA. After some persuasion he came in P.S Bindapur in the
evening.
When he arrived at
P.S , he was asked for his ID card and he presented his MHA issued ID card. The
card was signed by chief security officer(CSO), MHA. CSO MHA was contacted and he confirmed that
the card is issued by MHA , He was then interrogated thoroughly as how he has
got a genuine MHA card without being an officer, as it had serious security
implications. As per his version, he managed to obtain the MHA I card by
forging the signatures and stamp of director level officer of GNCT Delhi. He stated that he initially got an ID card
for the post of SDM and then subsequently created a fake transfer order and got
a renewed MHA I card of Asstt Commissioner.
He also stated that he is an M.Phil
from SIS JNU however during enquiry this information was also found wrong. He also further stated that he has a company
called Global Spectrum in Punjabi Bagh through which he does the job of
facilitation and PR for private business. It has also come to notice that he
has married a girl working in government sector on the bases of creating a
false Identity and the divorce matter is pending in court on this issue. Upon
this, a case of cheating by
impersonation and forgery has been registered in P.S Bindapur in South West
District.
During interrogation he finally
confessed that he is not a DANICS officer. He had appeared in Civil services
exam earlier but could get through. He was impressed by the movie ‘Catch me if
you can’ and was thus following it.
