Faridabad man posing as Rashtrapati Bhavan official arrested

Police in Faridabad have arrested a man who impersonated a vigilance official allegedly appointed by Rashtrapati Bhavan, using the false identity to threaten the Chief Medical Officer in connection with an ongoing investigation. The suspect claimed to have been deputed by a senior official at the President's office to look into irregularities involving ₹50 lakh in ambulance diesel procurement under the National Health Mission (NHM) scheme. The arrest came after the CMO reported receiving threatening communications from the individual who leveraged the purported presidential connection to lend credibility to his intimidation attempts. Authorities have launched a probe into how the suspect obtained details about the ongoing investigation and whether he was part of a deliberate effort to obstruct official proceedings. The case highlights the vulnerability of administrative officials to such impersonation tactics and has prompted authorities to review security protocols for handling vigilance matters.
