The Doon police have arrested a person who was impersonating as an inspector of the narcotics department. This fake inspector had duped an unemployed youth of Rs 24,000 on the pretext of giving him a job.
Addressing the mediapersons at his office on Sunday, the Superintendent of Police (SP) City, Ajay Singh said Bullawala resident Rahul lodged a complaint against one Rana Pratap at the Mayur Vihar police post on Saturday.
In his complaint Rahul said that Pratap met him as an Inspector of Narcotics department and promised him a job in the department itself and demanded Rs 2 lakh for this. Singh said that Rahul gave him Rs 24,000 but when this fake Inspector retorted to dilly dallying on the promise of job, Rahul got suspicious and complained the police.
SP City said that the police apprehended the culprit near the Anan Vihar and recovered Rs 24,000 and an Identity card of Narcotics department.
The police later visited the office of Narcotics Control Bureau at Sahastradhara road where Intelligence officer love Kumar said that there is no person named Rana Pratap in the Narcotics department.
The I-card which the fake Inspector was carrying was also found to be fake. The SP City said that the con man had earlier duped a person of his own village of Rs 1.20 lakhs on the promise of job.
