Amritsar Man Arrested for Impersonating Police Officer to Steal Licensed PistolPreviousNext

In Amritsar, police arrested 26-year-old Sukha Singh for impersonating a police officer to fraudulently obtain a licensed pistol from a gun shop. The accused used a fake police uniform, identity card, and a white Swift car with a counterfeit registration number. The deception began with a call to the shop owner claiming to be the local SHO, followed by the accused collecting the pistol. Police recovered several items and are investigating possible links to other crimes.
