In an embarrassment to the Rajasthan police, a listed criminal, posing as political and cultural advisor to Nepal's vice president, managed to get state guest facilities at Sikar.
We filed a case against Mahaveer Prasad Tordi at Kotwali police station today after his claims were found to be misleading, police said.
"Tordi through an email had informed us that he was the political and cultural advisor of Nepal's vice president and thus was a state guest. We had received the email on July 28 following which arrangements were made for his stay on July 30.
"When we verified his claim later, it was found that the General Administration Department (GAD) had not released any order," ASP Sikar, Tejpal Singh said.
Deputy Chief Protocol Officer, General Administration Department (GAD), Rajeev Jain said, "We have not issued any orders for providing state guest facilities to Tordi on the mentioned date".
Meanwhile, Station House Officer (SHO) of Karni Vihar police station in Jaipur confirmed that Tordi was a listed criminal.
"There are over a dozen cases including rape, molestation, dowry and attempt to murder registered against Tordi with Karni Vihar police station," SHO Shriram Choudhary said.
