New Delhi:

The CBI has registered a case towards one Ankit Kumar Singh for allegedly impersonating a secretary within the Prime Minister’s Workplace (PMO) dealing with the Varanasi Lok Sabha constituency and in search of favours from senior authorities officers.

The federal company acted on a grievance from Assistant Director in PMO Anil Kumar Sharma, officers stated.

The case has been handed over to the CBI’s Particular Crime unit, headed by Joint Director Viplav Kumar Choudhry, who was awarded the President Police Medal for distinguished service on Republic Day, they added.

In its grievance, Mr Sharma has accused Mr Singh of claiming himself to be Dinesh Rao, a 1997-batch Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officer of the Bihar cadre, and posted as a secretary within the PMO who takes care of Varanasi district in Uttar Pradesh.

“His cellular quantity is XXXXXXX098 and he’s learnt to have contacted Prabhu Narayan Singh, District Justice of the Peace, Agra, Uttar Pradesh, in search of favours for ‘his constituency’. Prima facie, it seems to be a case of impersonation as a PMO official since no official by this identify is posted on this workplace,” Mr Sharma stated.
