New Delhi, July 17

A day before he was arrested by the Jammu & Kashmir Police for fraudulently claiming to be Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s adviser, the con man had assaulted the Personal Security Official (PSO) of a Central minister.

The Delhi police had registered a case against him on July 10 for assaulting a cop on duty and its probe has revealed that the accused --- Manmohan Singh ---had some papers showing his links to some Congress leaders. One such document shows him as an “election co-ordinator” for Prime Minister Manmohan Singh when he had fought the Lok Sabha poll from South Delhi in 1999, an investigating official said.

The accused (54) had assaulted Head Constable deployed at Minister of State for Food Processing Industries Subodh Kant Sahay’s residence on July 10. “The minister was not present in the house nor was his brother when the incident took place. Manmohan had gone to the minister’s house. As there was no one in the house, the Head Constable asked him to leave. However, the accused began arguing with him and then grabbed the security guard’s collar and slapped him,” said a police official. SHO of Tuhlaq Road police station, Anil Yadav, said they booked the accused under various charges, including trespassing, assault of public servant and criminal intimidation, on the same day. However, cops were not aware at that time that Manmohan was a con man who had been enjoying official privileges by impersonating as the PM’s adviser.
