The accused, Sahil Kumar, was found in possession of forged police documents and fake identification.
According to police, the incident unfolded on July 7 at around 3.30 pm, when the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) intercepted a suspicious individual during routine profiling operations at Terminal-3's departure forecourt.
"The man, identified as Sahil Kumar, was wearing a white T-shirt with the Delhi Police logo.
Upon questioning, Kumar was unable to provide any credible explanation about his alleged posting with Delhi Police," addl. commissioner of police (IGI Airport) Usha Rangnani said.
"His Delhi Police identity card raised suspicion and was found to be forged. CISF personnel filed a formal complaint with IGI Airport Police Station, leading to the registration of a case under sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS)," the senior police officer added.
During interrogation, Kumar failed to produce any valid credentials and confessed to impersonating a police officer.
A fake police ID card (marked as PSI), a forged appointment letter, a handbag containing blank case diaries, a page with Delhi Police Academy stamp marks, and a mobile phone with photos of him in uniform were recovered.
"Investigating officers found that Kumar, who has completed Class XII and currently resides with relatives in Rohini, used his forged identity to befriend women, some of whom were working with Delhi Police, by pretending to be a 2024-batch sub-inspector posted at IGI Airport.

Further investigation into the matter is underway.

Agency: Pune, Aug 10 (PTI) A full-scale mock drill was conducted at the Pune airport on Sunday, simulating a terror attack scenario at the terminal building, officials said. The Counter-Terrorism Contingency Plan (CTCP) mock exercise involved 258 personnel from agencies, including the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF), Airports Authority of India (AAI), state police, bomb detection and disposal squad (BDDS), Indian Air Force (IAF), immigration authorities, and airline representatives. A tabletop exercise was conducted at the New Conference Hall with participation from all stakeholders. The respective team leaders briefed their teams on roles and responsibilities, and this was followed by an operational briefing from the senior commandant/CASO, CISF, in the presence of the Pune airport director. The simulated incident, which commenced near the departure date, involved four terrorists arriving in a vehicle with firearms and explosives, and attempting an attack on the terminal building. All agencies acted swiftly in coordination as per established Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). The BDDS team confirmed the presence of explosives, which were subsequently neutralised, while security forces successfully eliminated the four simulated terrorists. The drill served as an important measure to test and refine inter-agency coordination during high-threat situations and validate existing contingency plans and SOPs, along with building operational confidence among participating forces. The AAI and CISF reaffirm their commitment to maintaining the highest level of airport security to ensure the safety and confidence of passengers and stakeholders.
