Gaurav Kumar, a 42-year-old resident of Amritsar, India, has been arrested in Dehradun for allegedly impersonating a secretary to senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi. He is accused of defrauding Congress leaders across several states, including Uttarakhand, Rajasthan, Haryana, Madhya Pradesh, and Bihar, by promising them party positions and election tickets in exchange for large sums of money. The case came to light after Congress leader Bhavana Pandey lodged a complaint, stating that Kumar had cheated her of ₹25 lakh (roughly $30,000 USD). Kumar allegedly used a fake profile on the caller identification app Truecaller and played audio recordings of senior Congress leaders to convince his victims. Investigators believe Kumar, along with associates, has been operating this scam for several years, with previous incidents reported in Jaipur and Patna. The police are continuing their investigation to identify more victims and recover the funds collected by Kumar.
