Man Arrested for Impersonating CBI Officer in Mumbai
A 62-year-old man named Badruddin Khan was caught in Mumbai for pretending to be a special officer of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).
He was traveling in the first-class section of a local train without a ticket.
When the ticket checker asked for his ticket, Khan showed a fake ID card that looked like it belonged to the CBI.
The ID card had the CBI logo and the words 'Government of India' written in English and Marathi.
The ticket checker and the railway police became suspicious and found out that Khan was not a real CBI officer.
He was arrested and charged with impersonating a public servant and traveling without a ticket.
