Ghaziabad, February 12: A 35-year-old man was detained on Saturday, February 12, on suspicion of defrauding individuals by promising them jobs against their money by using the identity of his ex-wife, a senior police official. A native from Patna, Bihar, Rohit Raj Singh was taken into custody from his Kaushambi residence following a complaint made by his ex-wife, a Provincial Police Service official. Rohit was introduced to the senior police officer via a matrimonial website.

Upon their first meeting, Rohit revealed his identity as an IRS officer stationed in Ranchi.
