A US citizen of Indian-origin was today arrested for posing as Prime Minister Narendra Modi's principal secretary before the divisional commissioner of Gurgaon.
The police said the accused, Atul Kalsi, came to Divisional Commissioner D Suresh's camp office in civil lines area.
"During the conversation with the divisional commissioner, his activities appeared to be suspicious. The official cross-checked with the PMO about his credentials and it appeared to be false. Subsequently, he was apprehended by security staff," Gurgaon Police's public relations officer Ravider Kumar said.
The accused is an American citizen of Indian origin. He also has a Gurgaon voter ID card which is being investigated.
Kalsi was produced before Gurgaon civil court which sent him to 14 days in judicial custody.
D Suresh, the divisional commissioner, told PTI that the PMO was apprised of the incident.
