Assam: Fake anti-corruption officer busted in Badarpur, police suspect bigger fraud racket

Badarpur police have arrested a man posing as an anti-corruption officer, exposing yet another case of impersonation after recent incidents involving fake doctors and fake police personnel. 

The accused, identified as S.M. Jubel Ahmed, a resident of the Bhanga area, was caught during a special operation by the police.

According to police sources, Ahmed had been roaming across different places in the Badarpur region for quite some time, introducing himself as an anti-corruption officer to influence unsuspecting people.
