Fake identity
Accused was a property dealer, not police official
It was later found that Deepak was a property dealer and not a police official.
Initially, Deepak didn't respond to police's calls. Yesterday, he was contacted and brought to the police station where the complainants were also present.
Sagar, Apaar, and their father identified Deepak.
Deepak admitted he knew Apaar since 2013 and was in contact with him for online purchase of mobile phones.
Information
Deepak had earlier purchased T-shirts from victim's shop with discount
Earlier, Deepak had visited Sagar's shop in August and purchased some T-shirts from his shop and got some discount saying that he was an SI posted in Malviya Nagar. An FIR was registered against Deepak following which he was arrested.
