Man poses as IAS officer, claims links to NSA Doval; arrested
In a separate incident, police in Bihar’s Khagaria district arrested a man accused of posing as an IAS officer and claiming to have links with national security advisor Ajit Doval . After technical analysis and other inputs, the CBI carried out an operation and arrested the proclaimed offender, Jitendra Pathak, in Ludhiana on August 19. Police recovered a Tesla car, an SUV, more than 31 litres of imported liquor and other luxury items from his residence.
However, Pathak stopped appearing before the court during the trial after the chargesheet was filed in December 2009. After all legal procedures were completed, the trial court declared him a proclaimed offender on September 28, 2016. Once the investigation was completed, Pathak and another accused were named in the chargesheet.
The agency said that repeated efforts to locate him during the trial were unsuccessful, and he could not be traced.
