A man posing as a high-ranking army officer and found clicking pictures around the Army's Eastern Command Headquarters here on Thursday was apprehended and handed over to police, a defence official said.

Upon interrogation it was revealed that he was an imposter and was subsequently handed over to the police.
It has also been found that the name plate outside his city residence showed Mitra to be a Navy commodore while a car he was using has an 'Army' sticker. - IANS
