Chennai: A man managed to enter the Police Commissioner’s office at Vepery and meet with a senior official of the Traffic department using a fake police identity card.
Sources said today that the incident took place three days ago and the impostor was identified as Sam Jebaraj. He produced an identity card claiming to be from the Road Safety Department of the city police.
He arrived at the Commissioner’s office along with the principal of a city college seeking an appointment with the city Commissioner, A K Viswanathan.
After clearing the security checks he made his way to the waiting hall. Sources said, since the Commissioner was not available, Sam got an appointment to meet Additional Traffic Commissioner.
