Man Posed as Hindu Priest, Arrested in UP for Impersonation
Imagine a man pretending to be a priest to trick people.
This man, originally from Bihar, lived in a temple in Uttar Pradesh for about a year, pretending to be someone named Krishna.
People started to become suspicious and eventually caught him taking money that wasn't his.
The police found out he was actually Qasim, not Krishna, and didn't have the proper documents.
He's been charged with pretending to be someone else and for hurting religious feelings, so he was put in jail.
