“The accused identified herself as an inspector-general in IB. We came to know that there were no officers in IB by that name. We found that she had been using the national emblem on her vehicle. IB officers usually conceal their identity. She was doing the opposite,” said an officer.
Yadav — a resident of Purbalok, along the Bypass — has been remanded in police custody till February 8.
