Coimbatore: A 32-year-old Keralite was arrested in the district on Friday for duping several people by posing as a CBI officer and offering to get them jobs in the government departments in return for bribe or sexual favour.
Though the man had reportedly duped several people and even raping women under his fake identity, there have been no complaints against him yet.
According to the police, Krish of Palakkad in Kerala, had come to Villupuram a few months ago, to look for a job. He met Anna Laxmi (26), a mother of three who had separated from her husband and was living alone.
They began a relationship and moved to a rented house in PK Pudhur in the city’s suburbs a couple of months ago.
Reportedly, when they first met, Krish had told the woman that he was a CBI officer. The woman was under the impression that Krish was a CBI officer when she moved to Coimbatore with him.
However, in a short while, the man's conduct roused suspicions in the mind of Laxmi. The fact that he just stayed at home and never went to work was not missed by the woman.
She also noticed that he was taking money from people and realised he was promising them jobs with the CID. Later, she found that though he called himself Krish, his name on the ID card read Rajagiri. She asked if that was his birth name, he replied in the negative, further confusing her.
At this stage, Anna Laxmi found out that Krish was having an affair with a local woman and this led to a quarrel between the two.
She lodged a complaint at the Kuniyamuthoor police station on Thursday night, following which a team took Krish for enquiry.
During preliminary investigations, it was established that Krish was not a CID staff and that the ID card was fake. It later transpired that he had used the ID card to dupe several people including women, promising to get them jobs with the CID department.
According to police, the man confessed to having threatened and duped several women into sexually intimate relationships.
