Jammu, Jan 23(NVI): A fake Facebook account impersonating Additional Director General of Police (ADGP) Jammu, Anand Jain, has been discovered, prompting the police to take legal action.
The fraudulent account, using the ADGP’s profile picture and a misleading introduction, claimed to be associated with the Department of Jammu & Kashmir ADGP and the Director of Fire & Emergency Services.
According to a police spokesperson, the fake profile was being used to deceive the public, with potential risks of exploitation and trust violations. The police have strongly condemned the creation of such fake accounts, warning the public to be cautious and refrain from responding to friend requests, messages, or solicitations from the fraudulent profile. Similar scams in the past have led to significant financial losses and emotional distress for victims.
The ADGP has expressed concern over the violation, emphasizing that this act is a serious attempt to mislead the public. Police officials have urged the community to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities related to such scams.
The police have also begun investigating the matter, with efforts to identify those responsible for the creation of the fake account. (News Vibes of India)
