A resident of Naroda was so desperate to meet his two friends in jail that he tried to impersonate a cop and on being caught tried to bluff his way by calling himself a section officer.

The matter came to light after Jailor FS Malek of Sabarmati Jail filed a complaint with the Detection of Crime Branch. 

As per the case details, on Tuesday the phone operator in the jail Karansinh Parmar got a phone call on the landline number in which a caller identified himself as Rahul Chandrek, a top police official of the state.

He sought to talk to Sanjay Chauhan and Bharat alias Justin Mevada. Parmar approached Malek informing him about the phone call. The latter refused to entertain the request on the grounds that Chauhan had a visitor on September 10 while in case of Justin only relatives were allowed to meet him. 

According to the complaint, Malek again got a call twice this time on his mobile number in which the caller identified himself as Chandrek, a top police official. He then told Malek that his man was about to come to meet Chauhan and Justin and that he should allow them and he wouldn’t call again with the request.

Malek suspecting foul play informed his bosses who told him to go and check outside the jail premises as it was likely that the caller was already near the jail. 

A team that went in search of the caller found Chandrek near the jail and on being questioned he identified himself as a section officer working in Gandhinagar. During probe it was revealed that his name was Rahul Parmar and that he was a resident to Naroda and friend of two inmates.
