Arrested fake IAS officer Debanjan Deb has been impersonating as a joint commissioner of the Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC) for the last four months and has duped a few people of several lakhs of rupees on the pretext of helping them get tenders of the civic body, a kolkata Police Officer said after the initial probe.
The 28-year-old man came in contact with several police officers and political leaders while participating in various programmes organised for social causes, the IPS officer said, adding that four persons were called for questioning as part of the investigation.
“Deb was an IAS aspirant but could not crack the UPSC examinations.
In 2018, he told his father and relatives that he passed the tests and became the IAS Officer,” he said.
The police have informed that the probe is still at a very preliminary stage.
