Bihar man poses as IAS officer, claims links to NSA Ajit Doval; cops seize Tesla car, SUV after arrest
Police recovered a Tesla, luxury vehicles, and other items from Gupta’s residence as they investigate his alleged impersonation and fraudulent activities.
A man from Bihar's Khagaria district, Manish Gupta, was arrested on Sunday after claiming to be an IAS officer and threatening to reveal links to National Security Advisor Ajit Doval. Police recovered a Tesla car with full self-driving capabilities, an SUV, over 31 liters of imported liquor, and numerous luxury items from his residence.
Gupta is alleged to have presented himself as a senior government official and engaged in fraudulent activities throughout Bihar. Initial investigations found both his claims of working with Doval and his IAS officer status to be false. The investigation is being conducted by specialized agencies, including the Economic Offences Unit of the Bihar Police.
