Cyber criminals create fake profile of UT police DSP
Chandigarh, June 26 -- Fraudsters created a fake profile of Chandigarh police DSP Lakshay Pandey and misused the social media account by demanding bribe, sending obscene messages to women and even made his fake identity card.
The Cyber crime cell of the Chandigarh police has registered a case acting on the complaint by the DSP and are investigating.

He added that it has come to his notice and has also been reported to him by several people that multiple fake accounts have been created in his name.

Shockingly, it has also come to light that some of these impersonators have created fake Aadhaar cards and forged police ID cards using my name and photograph to falsely legitimize their claims," he stated.
The DSP added that these acts are not only illegal but are also severely affecting his professional integrity and personal image, and causing harm to unsuspecting members of the public.
The DSP also provided a list of fake accounts and suspected profiles indulging in these unlawful activities....
