Fake Judicial Officer Arrested with Firearm in Delhi

Two men, Surya Agarwal and Nikhil Yadav, were arrested in New Delhi for possessing firearms and forged documents. Agarwal allegedly impersonated a judicial officer with fake identification to carry a weapon illegally. Police seized a pistol, live cartridges, and the vehicle they used, exposing significant security lapses.

In a recent operation executed by the Parliament Street police, two individuals were apprehended in New Delhi. Among them was a man allegedly posing as a judicial officer using fraudulent documents. The arrest followed the interception of an SUV marked illegally with judicial identification, and security personnel recovered firearms from the detainees.

The suspects, identified as Surya Agarwal, 31, and Nikhil Yadav, 21, were found with a pistol and several live cartridges. Deputy Commissioner of Police (New Delhi), Sachin Sharma, stated that the vehicle, lacking a proper registration plate and flaunting a misleading 'Judge' sticker, aroused suspicion leading to the search.

Upon further inquiry, it was discovered that Agarwal had a legal arms license restricted to Uttar Pradesh. However, his attempts to pass off a forged judicial identity granted him illicit passage into Delhi. The vehicle and all incriminating items have been seized, with both accused facing legal action.
