Bihar, September, 22 2024 : A startling incident has emerged from Bihar, where an 18-year-old boy was arrested for impersonating an Indian Police Service (IPS) officer after allegedly paying ₹2 lakh for the uniform. The case highlights a disturbing trend of fraud related to prestigious government positions.
The accused, identified as Mithlesh Maji, was apprehended by police while wearing an IPS uniform and carrying a pistol. He believed he had legitimately become an IPS officer after handing over the substantial sum of money to a man named Manoj Singh, who had promised him the uniform and the title. Mithlesh was seen riding a bike worth around ₹2 lakh, fully equipped with the insignia of an IPS officer.
On the day of his arrest, Mithlesh had stopped by Sikandra Chowk for some errands when a crowd gathered around him, intrigued by the young man dressed as an IPS officer. However, the situation raised suspicions, prompting onlookers to notify the local police.
Police Intervention and Arrest
Sikandra police station in-charge Mintu Kumar Singh responded to the alert and dispatched officers to the scene. Upon arrival, they arrested Mithlesh Kumar for impersonation. He reportedly claimed, “I am an IPS,” as the police took him into custody.
Mithlesh’s actions stemmed from a desperate attempt to secure a job in law enforcement. To fund his aspirations, he borrowed ₹2 lakh from his maternal uncle, which he paid to Manoj Singh, who allegedly runs a scheme to provide fake police uniforms and promises of positions.
Social Media Reactions
The bizarre incident has sparked a wave of reactions on social media. Notably, user ShivRaj Yadav (@shivaydv_) commented while sharing a video of the incident: “This is Bihar! Anything is possible here! Look, someone whose appearance doesn’t even fit the bill has become an IPS officer without the #UPSC exam!” He further urged authorities to investigate how many more individuals have emerged from Manoj Singh’s #FakeIPS factory.
This case not only raises questions about the integrity of such impersonations but also highlights the vulnerabilities in society where young individuals may resort to such extreme measures in pursuit of dreams.
As investigations continue, authorities are expected to probe further into Manoj Singh’s operations and the broader implications of such fraudulent activities in the region.
