Fake IPS man cons jobseeker of Rs 30 lakh

Two men, Ganesh Chavan and Manoj Pawar, were arrested in Mumbai for posing as an IPS officer and defrauding a bank job aspirant of Rs 30 lakh. The accused, claiming links with top bureaucrats, threatened the victim with framing him in a case. Fake documents, including those with forged signatures of Union finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman, were recovered. The police are conducting a sensitive investigation into the matter. Deputy commissioner of police (crime) Raj Tilak Roushan confirmed the news of the arrests, but refused to elaborate, saying it is a “sensitive matter” and the probe is underway.
