A 45-year-old man was arrested on Monday night for allegedly posing as a central government official and as the chairman of “International Human Rights Commission”, a fictitious organisation.

Tarak Mondal used to introduce himself as a human rights official of the central government to businessmen and promoters in New Town and offer to “settle cases” in lieu of money, police said.

Mondal’s driver and his two “bodyguards” were also arrested.
