A shocking case of impersonation has come to light in Mathura, Uttar Pradesh, where police arrested a man for allegedly pretending to be an Assistant Director of the Enforcement Directorate (ED). The accused has been identified as Sachin Sharma, a resident of Mathura district. According to police, he had allegedly been posing as an ED officer for nearly two years and using the fake identity to influence people.
The matter came to light when Sharma visited the DSP office in Mathura and introduced himself as an ED officer. During the conversation, the police officer became suspicious about his appointment and decided to verify his identity. After contacting ED officials, police discovered that no officer by that name was working in the department. His identity card was also found to be fake.
Police recovered a fake ED identity card, several identity documents, bank cards, mobile phones and a car fitted with red and blue beacons from his possession. Investigators suspect that he used his fake identity to cheat and influence local businessmen. Police have registered a case and are investigating how many people may have been targeted. The accused has been arrested and further investigation is underway.
