Pune: The Hadapsar police in Pune arrested a 24-year-old conman Amit Jaganath Kamle for posing as Nationalist Congress Party leader R R Patil's secretary.
Kamle even called Police Commissioner Dr Satya Pal Singh, his personal assistant and many other officials from his office posing as Patil's secretary.
"Couple of times I had received his calls and I blasted him. But this man called me and spoke on big issues," said Singh. "He had even called my PA and many other officials claiming that he is capable enough to help them."
Kamle made the calls from a mobile SIM card under the name of Achyut Jadhav, who runs a travel agency.
Kamle had tricked Jadhav three months ago while travelling in his taxi.
He had assured Jadhav that he holds a high post in the Mantralaya. On the pretext of confirming a post for him at the municipal office, Kamle took Jadhav's driving licence, ration card and three passport size photographs.
"It was after Kamle received the documents from Jadhav that he applied for a new mobile card with the documents," said investigation officer Mandre.
He even assured many officials from Commissioner's office that because of his connection with R R Patil, he was capable of promoting them to a higher post.
A team was set to investigate the case and during the investigation they found that the mobile connection did not belong to Jadhav.
"We checked the mobile connection address and found that it belonged to someone called Achut Jadhav who was a resident of Hadapsar," said Mandre.
"During questioning, Jadhav informed us that he had given his personal details to some Amit Kamle three months ago."
The police located the mobile connection and got a sketch done by a friend of Kamle's. Kamle was booked under section 420 and is in police custody till May 20.
Kamle even called Police Commissioner Dr Satya Pal Singh, his personal assistant and many other officials from his office posing as Patil's secretary.
"Couple of times I had received his calls and I blasted him. But this man called me and spoke on big issues," said Singh. "He had even called my PA and many other officials claiming that he is capable enough to help them."
