A 33-year-old man who posed as an official of the Prime Minister's Office here was arrested Tuesday and remanded to judicial custody along with his car driver who caused an accident, police said.
The fake claim of the imposter that he was an "Assistant Commissioner-Protocol," in the PMO was exposed after police grilled him following a mishap in the Madras High Court campus involving his car which hit a motorcycle and injured an advocate who was riding it, they said.
Another advocate, V Ananth who witnessed the mishap lodged a police complaint stating that when questioned, the man seated in the car's rear -identified as M Prasad later- gave incoherent replies and claimed to be a PMO official.
Also, his luxury car sported fancy stickers on the windscreen including "Airports Authority," and "Interpol."
