Police today said they are trying to ascertain the identity of the man who allegedly impersonated as personal assistant of Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia and called up eminent schools in the city for nursery admissions.
"We have registered a case of impersonation against unknown person and efforts are being made to ascertain identity of the accused at the earliest," said a senior police officer.
The unidentified accused had made calls to 2-3 prominent schools in Vasant Kunj and Ashok Vihar claiming to be PA of Sisodia and asked the school authorities for admission to nursery classes, he said.
In one such call to a school in Ashok Vihar, the caller referred to a communication between the Deputy CM and the school authority and apprised about sending name and other details of a child for admission, said the officer.
The matter came to light when principals and management of the schools contacted Delhi Secretariat for verifying the calls and found that no such calls or SMSs were made on behalf ofSisodia, he said.
On a written complaint of a Delhi Secretariat official, a case of impersonation was registered at the IP Estate police station and investigation launched.
