A 22-year-old youth claiming to be the advisor at the PMO office was found to be faking his identity while visiting Bengaluru.

It is said that the man named Aniket Dey claimed himself to be the ‘youth advisor’ to the National Security Council at the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO)

Sources claim, he had booked a room at ITC Gardenia through an online portal and stayed at the hotel from June 16 to 20.

At the time of check-in, he produced a business card and fake identity card showing him as an advisor at the PMO with the central government logo and PMO address.

After the police  received a tipoff from staff of a star hotel, Cubbon Park police inspector Bharat B filed a complaint against Aniket Dey. The city police already communicated with the PMO about the incident and received a clarification stating that no one by the name Aniket Dey is working in the office.

Aniket had cleared all the bills and did not seek any discount at the hotel. However, his move seemed suspicious and police officials have filed a complaint and have launched a manhunt to nab the man.
