Firozabad Police took to Twitter to share the details about this incident. In their tweet, they shared snaps of the details of the case, Yadav’s blurred photograph, and the fake documents that were found. The tweet read (translated), “Police station Tundla police team arrested an accused wearing the uniform of a police inspector while making illegal recovery from vehicles. Fake Aadhar card, fake ID card of Police Inspector, photo in police uniform and other items were recovered from the possession of the accused.”

Yadav, a resident of Sahibabad, used to extort money from private buses and trucks late at night, using his car with the Police sticker. He is currently booked under sections 170, 171, 420, 468, 469, and 471. He also had two other companions involved.
