State police arrested a man for posing as an under-training Captain of the Indian Navy at the Indirapuram police station on Saturday.
The man, Vibhav Pandey hailing from Fatehpur in UP, strode into the police station wearing the uniform of a Navy official while Superintendent of Police, City Aparna Gautam was in the premises.
He started throwing his weight around in the police station and demanded his work be carried out at the earliest.
The other officials at the police station developed some doubts regarding his credentials, and they started questioning him.
The questioning revealed that the man was not an officer or in any way related to the Indian Navy and was only pretending to be one.
"Being suspicious we asked him to show his documents which turned out to be fake. He came to station with locals to show that he is an officer. Questioning revealed that he was not a Navy officer but was just posing to be one," Aparna Gautam told ANI.
The police have registered a case against the man for impersonating an officer from the armed forces and are questioning him further to find out more details.
