Bengaluru: A nursing student has been arrested by Karnataka Police on Monday for posing as an Indian intelligence agency Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) officer.

The accused, identified as Idukki resident Benedict Sabu (24), was arrested while trying to extract information from senior officers during a drug addiction awareness program.

Benedict claimed to be a field officer and Sub-Inspector attached to the RAW.

The police have recovered fake IDs, mobile, and laptop and are seriously looking into why he was collecting information. The accused had also possessed another fake ID claiming himself as the Assistant Agriculture Development Officer.
