The arrested individual, identified as Lalit Kumar, belongs to the Aligarh district of Uttar Pradesh and was reportedly preparing for the Combined Graduate Level Examination (CGL) conducted by the Staff Selection Commission.

According to a report by Indian Express, police said on Wednesday that Lalit, claiming to be a CBI Sub-Inspector, presented a photo of a CBI ID card on his mobile phone when a police patrol team stopped his car near Shadley Public School in Subhash Nagar, Rajouri Garden.

Aspirant Uses Mobile App To Forge ID Card

A senior police officer revealed that Lalit had travelled to Delhi with four friends to celebrate his alleged promotion in the CBI. To impress his friends and relatives back home, he used a mobile app to forge an ID card and a promotion list.

“During the check, Lalit, the driver of Santro, presented a photo of a CBI ID card on his mobile phone. The ID card was found to be fake and forged on verifying it with the CBI headquarters,” said Vichitra Veer, Deputy Commissioner of Police, West Delhi.

The police confiscated the mobile phone of Lalit, which contained the fabricated ID card, a roll board with his name, and a forged promotion list.

Further police have launched an investigation to uncover the extent of Lalit's activities and identify any possible accomplices.
