Anirvan Mitra's arrest occurred when he was spotted riding a motorcycle in the wrong direction without a helmet, prompting policemen to intervene. Despite repeated claims of being a police officer, Mitra's credentials were found to be fabricated upon interrogation at Laketown Police Station. The incident underscores the vigilance of law enforcement agencies in cracking down on fraudulent activities, especially during sensitive times like election preparations.
As part of their election preparedness, Kolkata police have initiated Naka checking campaigns to apprehend individuals with warrants and maintain public safety. The arrest of the fake police officer serves as a reminder of the importance of thorough verification procedures and the enforcement of stringent measures to uphold the integrity of law enforcement.
