After receiving complaints, the police acted and identified the four accused who have been posing as cops and were found to be involved in extortion activities. The four accused have been identified as Rinkesh, Surendra, Kamala and Shivam.
According to police, four people dressed up in khaki uniform pretending to be the police officers at a phoney police station use to loot innocent vendors and locals.
