Mumbai, March 7 A 29-year-old man was arrested at the Chinchpokli railway station in Mumbai for allegedly impersonating a national transporter employee and showing a fake ID card to a ticket checker, a police official said on Saturday.
The arrested man, Dinesh Suresh RK, allegedly presented an ID card with "employee training" written on it, along with other items like the Ashoka emblem and the Indian Railways logo, to make it appear authentic, the official said.
"He presented this ID card during a ticket checking drive. He did not have a ticket and told the checker that he was a railway employee. Senior ticket inspector Pramod Ramanand Yadav photographed the card and sent it to higher authorities via WhatsApp, who confirmed that the ID card was fake," the official said.
He has been arrested for cheating, possession of forged documents, and other offenses, the Dadar railway police station official said.
