The Delhi Police is on a lookout for a man who impersonates himself as Director, Public Grievances, Indian Council of National Affairs (ICNA), Government of India (Cabinet Secretariat).
Identified as K Somashekar, a resident of Karnataka, the accused used to ferry around in his white Toyota Fortuner Car number KA 05 MS 359 which has a flasher blue beacon on top and a red colour number plate with his fake designation " Director, Public Grievances, (Ministries, Department and Union Territories), Cabinet Secretariat, Indian Council for National Affairs" imprinted on it.
Police after preliminary enquiry has found a few documents and letters which the accused had sent with his name and personal details to North Block in order to seek undue favours.
"His designation and address mentioned in the letter is Director, public Grievance, Indian Council of National Affairs (Government of India), 11, Firozshah Road," said a police source. " Now the address was found to be that of Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut since the past 12 years," the source added
Police even enquired about the documents/letters with the MP, but he said he is not aware of such documents and neither did he send any to North Block.
" The letters and documents were found to be prima facie forged as no such officer with the said name and designation exist," said the source.
Police also found out that there exists no such organisation as Indian Council of National Affairs. Although Somashekar is absconding, police have managed to seize his car from his residence in Bangalore where they had gone to raid and arrest him.
A police team after going to Karnataka in order to gather more leads on him, examined three public eyewitness who gave the team more information about the accused. Based on the information, the team reached the residence of the accused and seized his car.
The Central range of Crime Branch received a complaint regarding the man from North Block on in May this year after which police started its preliminary enquiry.
The accused Somashekar has been booked under section 419, 466 of the Indian Penal Code and sections 146 and 196 of the Motor Vehicles Act.
