A man was arrested in Latur in Maharashtra for allegedly posing a family court judge, a police official said on Monday.
The man, posing as a judge, had called Shivajinagar police station on June 28 and sought a vehicle to attend a function, Inspector Sanjeevan Mirkale said.
"He was given a police vehicle and a guard. He attended various functions in Shivankhed in Ahmedpur that day. He was even felicitated at the function for being appointed a judge," the inspector said.
After his photos from the event went viral on social media, police officials noticed something amiss and a probe proved the man was an imposter.
"Mir Ali Yusuf Ali Sayyed (32) a resident of India Nagar in Latur, was arrested on Saturday. He was passing off as a judge who had been transferred on June 5. He has been charged with cheating and other offences and was remanded in judicial custody for 14 days," Mr Mirkale said.
