Srinagar: On Friday, authorities announced that three cases had been filed against Kiran Bhai Patel in his native state of Gujarat for his role in posing as a PMO official and receiving the perks that came with the job, such as a bulletproof car and dozens of security officers.
His ruse, which fooled security forces in the high-security zone of Jammu and Kashmir, has only just come to light after his detention on March 3. The authorities announced that Patel was taken into custody by the police on Monday and will be spending the next 14 days in prison.
