Ahmedabad Crime Branch has arrested a person for scamming people by falsely claiming that he was a higher official of a Central agency, said the officials.
The accused was identified as Bharat Chhabra, a resident of Karnal, Haryana.
The Crime Branch officials said that three FIRs had been registered against Chhabra based on the complaints of three people.
The first complaint was from a manager of a private hotel in Ahmedabad. According to the complaint, Chhabra stayed in the hotel a couple of times. Each time, he did not pay for the stay, saying that he couldn't be charged as he was a higher official of a Central agency and well-connected to politicians and officials.
