Chhattisgarh Police arrested two persons in Mizoram for trying to cheat a district and sessions judge by using the profile photo of the Chief Justice of the High Court, officials said on Saturday.
Lal Haming Sanga and Jothan Moviya are on way to Bilaspur on a transit remand, Bilaspur Senior Superintendent of Police Parul Mathur said.
An FIR was registered in the Chakarbhatha police station after the High Court protocol official confirmed that messages on WhatsApp were fake and the Chief Justice's photo had been misused.
The message was sent in July to the WhatsApp number of Rakesh Bihari Ghore, District and Sessions Judge of Ambikapur District Court, by using the photo of the High Court Chief Justice Arup Kumar Goswami, the officer added.
After analysing WhatsApp messages, the accused were located in Aizawl, Mizoram.
The police recovered the mobile phones and four SIMs used in the incident from them.
