UP man impersonating cop arrested for exploitation

In Muzaffarnagar, a man named Naushad Tyagi (also known as Rahul Tyagi) was arrested for pretending to be a police constable.
He allegedly gained a woman's trust by posing as an officer, then established a sexual relationship with her under the false promise of marriage and extorted large sums of money and gold jewelry from her.

TL;DR

Accused may have targeted other women too

After the victim came forward and filed a complaint, police arrested Tyagi and registered a case under several sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita for fraud, impersonation, intimidation, and cheating.
Officers found a fake uniform and nameplate with him.
According to Senior Superintendent of Police Sanjay Kumar, Tyagi may have targeted other women too—the investigation is ongoing to identify more victims.
