Many cases of fraudsters, posing as Army and defence personnel, are being investigated by the police jurisdictions in Pune, Ahmednagar, and Nashik over the last few years, following inputs from the MI. Many posing as Army officers or personnel, posting photos in Army uniforms online have been arrested in such cases.
Officials are now probing if the impersonator was trying to gain access to any sensitive establishments or was involved in cheating people using the fake identity on the pretext of providing them jobs .
