Ambala : A day after JJP district chief Arjun Singh’s son Bhupinder and his three friends were booked for pointing gun and threatening villagers, Yamunanagar police on Wednesday lodged an FIR against an unknown person for impersonating as OSD to Haryana home minister Anil Vij and threatening Buria station in-charge.

The impersonator claimed to be Vijay Sharma, who is the PA to Anil Vij. The caller can be heard intimidating the police officer, asking him on why did he threaten “his friend Bhupinder” and “to reply with a solution within 10 minutes.”

On the complaint of station in-charge Lajja Ram, a case was registered under sections of the Indian Penal Code and IT Act.

However, home minister Anil Vij said ,“I was not aware of the matter but came to know that the call was made by someone impersonating as my PA. I’ve asked for a probe.”

Yamunanagar SP Kamaldeep Goyal said, “All the accused were brought for interrogation. However, there was no complaint till then and so they were allowed to go. Now, two of them have been arrested while Bhupinder along with his friend is absconding.”

Meanwhile, ex-MLA Arjun Singh said the issue is being politicised. “My son was attacked by villagers with vested interests in mining business. The complainant stole ₹58,000 from Bhupinder’s car,” he said.
