Two men were arrested for allegedly duping people with fake appointment letters of government bodies, including central ministries, police said on Saturday.
Khatri Iqbal Ahamad, 50, a resident of Narmada district in Gujarat, and Himanshu Pandey, 35, a resident of Kushi Nagar district in Uttar Pradesh, duped high-profile individuals on the pretext of appointing them to the board of the National Medical Commission, they said.
According to police, the matter was exposed when Chandan Kumar, an Under Secretary in the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW), lodged a complaint about someone forging a letter in the ministry's name.
