Fake PMO official from Haryana held by Ahmedabad Police

Ahmedabad: The City Crime Branch on Saturday arrested a 34 years old man from Karnal in Haryana for allegedly defrauding multiple individuals in Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar by posing as a PMO officer.

The accused, Bharat Chhabra, posed as a senior official from government offices, including the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO), the Gujarat Secretariat, and central intelligence agencies. Chhabra was apprehended at a salon in Rameshnagar, Sector-13, with the assistance of the Civil Lines police in Karnal.

According to the crime branch, Chhabra, a Karnal resident, duped several people by promising them government contracts in exchange for large sums of money. However, the exact details of the fraud have not been disclosed. Three FIRs were filed against Chhabra by the city crime branch and one by Adalaj police in Gandhinagar between late July and early August. These FIRs, categorized as “sensitive,” remain undisclosed.

Chhabra also allegedly deceived police officers and government officials in Haryana, Delhi, offering lucrative returns in exchange for favors. DeshGujarat
