The police have registered an FIR against an unidentified person for allegedly posing as Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva to seek favours from senior government officials, an officer said.
The FIR was filed after Brijesh Rai, office secretary of the Delhi BJP office, lodged a complaint with the police.
According to the police, Mr. Rai alleged that an unidentified person created a fake identity under the name ‘Birender Sachdeva’ and used the photograph of the State BJP chief on a social media platform. “The accused had contacted the office of the U.P. Deputy CM while falsely identifying himself as Mr. Sachdeva. The caller attempted to obtain favours through this misrepresentation,” the complaint read.
Mr. Rai requested strict action, citing potential ramifications on political and administrative systems and the misuse of the name and authority of the party’s Delhi unit.
“Following a preliminary inquiry, an FIR under sections 319 (cheating by personating) and 336 (forgery of electronic records) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita was registered on Thursday,” the police said. The police said they have formed multiple teams and launched an investigation into the matter.
