Delhi: Man poses as cop, files false robbery complaint to settle scores; held
New Delhi: A 25-year-old man was arrested here for allegedly posing as a police inspector, thrashing a group of people he got into an argument with over lane driving, and lodging a false robbery case against them to take revenge, police said on Monday.
The accused has been identified as Pankaj Lakra, a resident of Nangloi, they said.
In his complaint to police, the accused claimed that he left his house in his car around 5 PM on Saturday with some cash and jewellery kept in a bag on the back seat when four men, who came in another car, intercepted him at an intersection in Alipur area, the police said.
Lakra claimed that two of them held him, while the other two took the bag and removed his gold chain, they said.
A case of robbery was registered on the basis of his complaint. However, later it was found that he had lied about the robbery, they added.
"During investigation, the accused revealed that he got into a scuffle at Singhola traffic light with four people who were coming in a car from the wrong side. He thrashed two of them and told them that he is a police inspector, following which they fled from the spot," Deputy Commissioner of Police (Outer North) Gaurav Sharma said.
He was annoyed and wanted to take revenge, so he lodged a false complaint against them, he said. Earlier, the accused used to work as a private tutor, he said.

Karnataka School Edu Dept prohibits children from being made to dance to obscene songs
Bengaluru (PTI): The Karnataka School Education Department has issued a circular strictly prohibiting children from being made to dance to obscene songs in educational and cultural programmes.
It stated that such dances would negatively impact students' mental health and moral values. It will create indiscipline and harm the sanctity of education.
"All the Deputy Directors (Administration) of the state's School Education Department have been asked to take strict measures to prevent children or students from dancing to obscene songs in all government, aided and unaided schools in the state," the office of the commissioner of the School Education Department said in a recent circular.
"If it is found that children are being made to dance to obscene songs, appropriate action will be taken against the headmaster or management of such school," it added.
The department also listed certain measures in this regard, which include: strictly prohibiting children from being made to dance to obscene songs during educational and cultural programmes; selecting songs that are inspiring, positive, instilling national pride in children and reflecting the greatness, dignity, values, culture, and morality of the state.
Stating that the school headmaster and management are responsible for selecting songs and dances for cultural programmes, it said, they should also ensure that students wear decent clothes in dance or cultural programmes.
