Gurugram, Aug. 11 -- A 31-year-old man was arrested by Gurugram Police on Friday for allegedly posing as an Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officer to extort money by promising government jobs, facilitating employee transfers, and using a fake identity to exert influence. The accused, identified as Jai Prakash Pathak, a resident of Raghui Pur village in Uttar Pradesh's Pratapgarh, has studied up to Class 12. Police said he used forged documents, a fake arms licence, and a vehicle bearing "Government of India" insignia to lure people. Acting on a tip-off, a Palam Vihar police station team led by inspector Bijender Singh raided Pathak's rented accommodation. "He tried to escape using the rooftop but was caught," said Gurugram police spokesperson Sandeep Kumar. Police recovered two identity cards - one with a "Ministry of Home Affairs" lanyard - an envelope linked to the transfer of an additional inspector, a forged arms licence, six mobile phones, a laptop, a walkie-talkie set, an Ayushman Bharat card, three Aadhaar cards, an ATM card, a PAN card, a passport, two official seals, red and blue beacon lights, Rs.2.5 lakh in cash, and a car marked "Government of India". "He claimed to be an IAS officer from the Ministry of Home Affairs and took money from individuals in exchange for jobs or transfers," Kumar said. The accused was booked under relevant sections for impersonation, cheating, and possession of forged documents. Kumar was produced in court and remanded in police custody for two days. A senior police officer said Pathak is also wanted in a similar case in Uttar Pradesh. "We are questioning him to identify his victims and to determine the extent of his network," the officer added....
