The Delhi Police's Cyber Cell has registered an FIR against an unidentified person for allegedly posing as Delhi Lieutenant Governor V K Saxena, officials said.
The FIR was filed on May 25 on the basis of a complaint lodged by the Delhi Development Authority's (DDA) Vigilance Department alleging that the fraudster contacted two of its officers on WhatsApp on May 23.
According to the FIR, the two vigilance officers first received WhatsApp calls from an unknown number and the caller introduced himself as Saxena.
The officers were surprised to hear this and disconnected the calls.
The caller had also put a picture of the LG as his display picture (DP). The accused also sent text messages to the two officers that read, “Hi, I am Delhi LG Vinai Kumar Saxena.”
