Boudh, Nov 13: A day after busting a dacoit gang that was posing as police squad, the Boudh police on Wednesday arrested a fake cop who was extorting money from the locals.

He was misleading people of impersonating himself as a police officer.

The accused, identified as Sharat Behera from Nakuanali village, used to extort money from villagers wearing a fake police uniform.

Police have seized a fake police identity card with belt, and mobile phone from Behera’s possession. 

According to reports, a group of youths led by Behera, were extorting money from the Chandipur area by posing as police officers.
