A man has been arrested along with two others for allegedly calling the Maharashtra home department officials about transfer-related issues while posing as NCP chief Sharad Pawar, police said on Thursday.

Home department officials at Mantralaya, the government headquarters here, suspected that somebody was mimicking Pawar's voice over phone and alerted police. A case was registered under IPC section 419 (cheating by personation) at Gamdevi Police Station on Wednesday night, said a police official.
