Churu: In a significant crackdown on a fraudulent scheme, Rajasthan Police arrested a woman on Tuesday who allegedly impersonated a Delhi Police officer for three years. The accused, identified as Anju Sharma, is said to have cheated several unemployed individuals by promising them government jobs in exchange for money.

According to Churu Superintendent of Police (SP) Jai Yadav, the police acted on information regarding Sharma's fraudulent activities, stating, “One Anju Sharma has been availing 'VIP' facilities for some time by posing as sub-inspector of Delhi Police and has extorted lakhs of rupees from unemployed youths by promising to get them recruited in government jobs.”
