Congress Leader Among 4 Booked for Impersonating CBI Officers
Some people pretended to be CBI officers and went to a builder's house.
One of them was a Congress leader.
They told the builder they were there because of a complaint, possibly to pressure him.
The builder, already in trouble with another agency, checked with the real CBI, who said they didn't send anyone.
Now, the police are investigating the fake officers and their motives.
The Congress leader has also lost his job in the party.
