Officials sources said that a youth identified as Neeraj Kumar, a resident of Badroon village, eight kilometers from district headquarters Doda, was working as fake SI for past few weeks and used to lay check posts in rural areas. His impersonation came to fore when he entered Doda town and started visiting different police check posts, the officials said.

During the questioning, he informed that he always wanted to be a police officer which drove him to impersonate as police SI. Police has registered a case against him for mis-using the police uniform and impersonating as police officer.
