Noida Man Accused of Posing as RAW, Army Officer Held by UP STF

Police say forged identities enabled a shell-company network moving crores, with ₹81 lakh already frozen.

Overview

  • UP STF arrested 37-year-old Sunit Kumar in Greater Noida on Tuesday night after verifying with RAW that no such officer exists under his name.
  • Seized items include forged IDs for RAW and Army roles and a Cabinet Secretariat card, 20 cheque books, eight bank cards, five PAN cards, multiple Aadhaar and voter IDs, laptops and tablets.
  • Investigators say he rented more than 17 flats using aliases and used those addresses to open bank accounts for shell firms he ran with a relative.
  • STF officials allege over ₹3 crore moved through Happu Mental Health Service 2 to inflate valuation, with Festum 24 Technologies and Lokally Technologies also named.
  • About ₹81 lakh in two accounts has been frozen, a case has been filed at Surajpur police station under cheating, forgery and IT Act Section 66D, and device forensics and the money trail are being pursued; his judge spouse reportedly learned of the deception during the inquiry.
