Belagavi Police have released an advisory on combating fake profiles on social media, after some fraudsters created a fake profile of Superintendent of Police Sanjiv Patil.
Unidentified men have created a profile of Deputy Commissioner of Police, Bengaluru West, using the photo of Dr. Patil, who served in that post before being transferred to Belagavi a few months ago.
The fake profile on Instagram has posted requests for money from friends and acquaintances. A friend alerted Dr. Patil and he reported it.
