<![CDATA[A complaint was filed by police sub-inspector K P Sagathiya of Women Police Station of Surendrangar against Rashmin Halani, a resident of Surat for allegedly posing as an officer in the Chief Minister’s Office (CMO) and ordering the Surendranagar SP to send him a report over an alleged encroachment in Surendrangar town late Saturday evening. In her complaint, Ms. Sagathiya said that the accused was posing as police inspector Gohil and allegedly abused some Bharwads who had developed enclosures for their cattle near Gandwada Talav in Surendrangar. Rashmin Halani, a resident of Surat, was booked under various IPC sections. Halani allegedly called Deepak Meghani, the Surendranagar SP later identifying himself as one Mr Patel, APS from CMO, and was seeking for a report about the alleged encroachment. The SP doubted the authenticity of the call, supposedly from the CMO, and ordered an enquiry through Sagathiya. When Sagathiya pursued his contact details, Halani gave the official email address and fax number of the CMO in Gandhinagar as his contact details. According to Sagathiya, the offence was committed between June 16 and July 21. Meghani told on Sunday that he suspected Halani’s background and then ordered for an enquiry when he instructed Meghani that those accused of violation should be paraded in public. The enquiry revealed that he was actually Rashmin Halani from Surat and that he was using a mobile phone SIM card to call police officers issued in the name of a security guard in his residential society. The accused enacted as a very high-ranking officer and talked to the police officer very calmly. ]]>
