A 42-year-old school dropout was arrested by the Powai police on suspicion of impersonating as an anti-corruption officer from Maharashtra after he argued with the senior inspector at Saki Naka traffic police station for fining him Rs 200 for illegal parking. The accused identified as Bhimbahadur Singh posed as an anti-corruption officer and his cover was blown by the senior inspector Jaywant Sankpal who asked him to show his official identity card which was found to be a fake.

Senior inspector Jaywant Sankpal alerted the Powai police, who then arrested the accused Bhimbahadur Singh. The fraud came to light on May 15, around 6.30pm, when the traffic constable Manohar Bhusare towed away the accused's bike which was illegally parked on the footpath outside Galleria Mall in Hiranandani Powai. When Bhusare told him that he will have to pay a fine of Rs 200 to get back his bike, the accused allegedly tried to intimidate him by flashing his fake official ID card.
