Bihar Man Arrested for Impersonating IAS Officer, Luxury Assets Seized
Manish Kumar Gupta was arrested in Bihar's Khagaria district for impersonating an IAS officer and claiming to be an undercover agent of National Security Advisor Ajit Doval.

Authorities estimate his assets at around Rs 100 crore. Investigations revealed his identity and claims were fake, and he allegedly used the false identity to defraud and intimidate people. The Economic Offences Unit is probing the case further.
