And after that, we came to know that these people were using the police logo, collars and without any authorisation."

"They impersonated government officials and attempted to create a parallel system. The police received confidential information about their activities and registered a case under sections related to cheating and misuse of official documents. Upon investigation, the police found visiting cards, ID cards, chequebooks, and other documents, but no supporting documents to validate their claims of being a transnational police force," DCP added.
