A 26-year-old civil defence volunteer has been arrested for allegedly impersonating a Delhi Police constable and wearing a police uniform in the Karawal Nagar area.
According to the Delhi Police, the accused, identified as Shahrukh Khan, a resident of Mandola in Loni, Ghaziabad, was arrested on the night of June 28. A patrolling team got a tip-off that a civil defence volunteer deployed at the SDM Office in Nand Nagri was posing as a Delhi Police constable near the Jawahar Nagar picket.
Acting on the tip-off, the anti-auto theft squad conducted a raid around 9:50 pm and arrested the accused. During questioning, he identified himself as constable Shahrukh Khan and claimed that he was posted at the Karawal Nagar police station.
After verification, it was found that no one by that name was posted at the Karawal Nagar police station. A constable’s uniform was recovered from his possession.
During interrogation, the accused admitted that he had been impersonating a Delhi Police constable. A case under Sections 204 and 205 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita was registered at the Karawal Nagar police station.
