A disabled man from Rajasthan, identified as Pawan Kumar, was arrested in Mohali, Punjab, on Monday for allegedly deceiving several individuals with fake job promises while posing as an IAS officer. Kumar, who hails from Hanumangarh in Rajasthan, was apprehended at a hotel where he had been meeting jobseekers. When an argument broke out between him and the victims, the hotel staff became suspicious of his claims and contacted the police.
Upon questioning, Kumar initially tried to evade police inquiries, but later revealed his true identity. During the investigation, authorities recovered a Swift Dzire car with a fake government emblem on its number plate, along with several forged IAS identity cards.
Kumar was presented before the district court and remanded in police custody for two days. The police suspect that he may be involved in a larger scam and are continuing their investigation. However, further details have not been disclosed at this time.
