Noida Police earlier this week arrested a woman, Zoya Khan and her husband for posing as a fake Indian Foreign Service (IFS) officer, and conning multiple agencies to enjoy government security.
As per the reports, when Zoya Khan was with her government security and gunners, police personnel and others used to salute her. She had police escorts across NCR towns such as Noida, Gurugram, Meerut, Ghaziabad and Moradabad.
In an IndiaToday report, it was mentioned that on March 23, Khan phoned Gautam Buddh Nagar (Noida) SSP Vaibhav Krishna and yelled at him for delaying police escorts. The cop got suspicious and ordered an investigation and a raid. Her cover was blown.
Khan and her former banker husband Harsh Pratap Singh were arrested from their rented 3-BHK apartment in Noida Extension’s Gaur City-2.
During the investigation it was learnt that 35-year-old Khan is a Meerut-based doctor’s daughter and her husband Singh is a Kanpur police officer’s son.
Khan did her Masters in political science from Delhi University and wanted to be a civil servant. She failed the exam in 2007 but her desires to enjoy VIP perks kept growing bigger. She went for short cuts, used advanced tech and old tricks and got what she wanted.
Two of the fake identity cards recovered from Khan showed she was also posing as a UNSC nuclear officer and a US diplomat in Afghanistan. The police also seized two luxury cars (a black Mahindra XUV 500 with Delhi registration number plate and blue beacon, and a grey Mercedes with Haryana number plate), laptops, phones, walkietalkies and a fake pistol from them.
