Early Times Report
Jammu, Mar 17: The Union Government has reportedly taken very serious note of the failure of the J&K administration to verify the credentials of the fraudster who was impersonating as a senior officer in the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO).
Highly placed sources said that Union Government has sought a report from the J&K Government on how all protocols were provided to the cheater without checking his credentials from the department concerned.
Meanwhile, facing embarrassment after a Gujarat-based cheater befooled higher-ups of the Jammu and Kashmir administration by impersonating a senior officer in the Prime Minister's Office (PMO), authorities have started an internal inquiry to shift responsibility for this goof-up.
Although no official handout has been issued by the Jammu and Kashmir Police after arresting a fake officer of the PMO, sources said that a high-level inquiry has been initiated into how this cheater hoodwinked senior officers by impersonating an "Additional Director (Strategy & Campaign) in the Prime Minister's Office".
"This episode has exposed a lack of coordination among different government agencies working in the terrorism-plagued Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir", a source said, adding, "without verifying his credentials authorities for the last three months have been providing him all protocols and facilitating his visits to different parts of Kashmir Valley".
As reported, Jammu and Kashmir's police have arrested a man from 'Gujarat' allegedly by forged means posing as Additional Director (Strategy & Campaigns) Prime Minister's Office, New Delhi, in the summer capital Srinagar.
Sources said that top officers of Jammu and Kashmir police after getting specific information regarding a man identified as Dr. Kiran J Patel son of Jagdesh Patel posing as Additional Director (Strategy & Campaigns) PMO, New Delhi, swiftly acted and arrested the man.
Police said he was taken to Nishat police station where he confessed his crime. Ten visiting cards of different identities and two mobile phones were found in his possession.
Accordingly, an FIR no 19 of 2023 was registered by Srinagar police in Police Station Nishat reads "on 02-03-2023 reliable information received by Police Station Nishat has revealed that a fraudster namely Kiran Bhai Patel son of Jagdesh Bhai Patel resident of Gujarat has by criminal intention indulged in activities within the jurisdiction of this police station and other parts of Kashmir valley and by employing a high degree of forged means. Dr. Kiran J Patel has impersonated himself as a senior government official of India." |
