A man was arrested on Friday for allegedly entering the Palam Air Force Station in the Delhi Cantonment area. As per the police officials, the 39-year-old was posing himself as Wing Commander of the Indian Air Force.
The accused Vinayak Chadha wanted to get his father treated at the dental hospital of the Air Force station, a senior police official informed. Deputy Commissioner of Police (southwest) Rohit Meena said police were informed about the incident on Wednesday.
The Air Force staff held Chadha while he tried to enter the restricted area, the DCP said, adding that the accused entered the Air Force dental hospital on Thimmaya Road by posing as a wing commander. He managed to breach the first layer of security using a forged identity document but was caught later by Air Force security staff.
Chadha was then handed over to the police, Meena said.
A forged identity card and a few other liquor cards in the names of several defence personnel were found on Chadha, the DCP added.
Liquor cards are given to defence personnel to acquire liquor at subsidised rates in cantonment areas.
A case under Indian Penal Code sections 419 (punishment for cheating by personation), 468 (forgery for purpose of cheating), 471 (using as genuine a forged document or electronic record), and 474 (having possession of document knowing it to be forged and intending to use it as genuine) was registered at Delhi Cantt police station, officials said.
During an investigation into the source of the forged documents, police apprehended another person from Sultanpuri. Further investigation is going on.
