The accused has been identified as Kanhu Charan Pradhan.

It followed the arrest of a fake RTI activist, Kishore Mishra, on August 18 on the basis of a complaint filed at Koraput Town police station on April 25. He along with some others used to work in close association with the main accused. “A resident of Tangi in Khurda district, Pradhan stays in Bhubaneswar. He is a graduate. Earlier, he ran a liquor shop,” an official release said.

During investigation, the STF came across four more cases registered against Pradhan, who allegedly duped people by impersonating top officers in government departments. The victims had saved his phone number as secretary or additional secretary.

He had allegedly fled to Thailand and returned to Odisha recently. Expensive mobile phones, forged government notification/orders and other incriminating documents were also seized from his possession.
