The Trombay police have registered an offence against an unknown person for misusing the documents of a Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) sepoy to sell vehicles on an online portal. The sepoy realised this only after his office informed him of three cheating cases registered against him in Maharashtra and Bihar.

The sepoy later recalled having shared his documents in December last year with a person claiming to sell him an SUV at a cheaper rate, but the deal never worked out. Ratansigh Dhankar, 31, deputed at the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Mankhurd, was informed by his commandant office on January 16 of a cheating case registered against him for Rs 25,540.
