Man posing as IPS officer beside Deputy Chief Minister
In December, the government of Andhra Pradesh accorded elevated security for the Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan. While Pawan Kalyan was granted Y-category security by the home department and intellectual bureau, a bizarre incident shook everyone after his visit.
While the Deputy Chief Minister was on a tour in the agency area, a man posing as be IPS officer was seen right beside Pawan Kalyan all along the stretch. Surprisingly, no one doubted his credentials, fake police uniform and fabricated IPS badge.
A few police constables even clicked pictures with him. Later when the photos caught the attention of the police department, the department identified the man as a fake IPS officer who was not even a part of the police department.
After the report went viral, Home Minister Anitha took action and gave strict orders against the culprit.
