The impersonator posed to be “stranded” at Connaught Place in Delhi and sought ₹500 as cab fare to reach the Supreme Court
The Supreme Court has registered a cyber-crime complaint against a scammer posing to be as the Chief Justice of India.
This complaint has been filed after CJI Chandrachud took note of the screenshot of a message that went viral on social media on Sunday.
Allegedly, the scammer, who used CJI's name as its handle and his picture for the display image, sought ₹500 from an X user, to avail a cab to attend a Collegium meeting.
He further added a message promising to return the money once he reached the Supreme Court.
Trying to gain trust and make the message look authentic, the scammer also added "Sent from iPad" at the end of his message.
Supreme Court has now filed an FIR with the Delhi Police's cyber branch to investigate the matter.
