Mangaluru: Nursing student from Kerala pretends to be RAW agent, gets detained

A nursing student, Benedict Sabu, arrested in Mangaluru for posing as an agriculture officer, sub-inspector, and even a RAW agent. His false identity was revealed during a drug awareness program, leading to his detention and the confiscation of fake ID cards, uniform, and more. An investigation is ongoing.

A nursing student who had been pretending to be an agriculture officer and a RAW agent has been arrested in Mangaluru. The true identity of Benedict Sabu came to light during a drug awareness program at the college. The police in Mangaluru have arrested Benedict Sabu, a student at a private nursing college, for posing as a police and RAW officer. Benedict Sabu, originally from Idukki in Kerala, enrolled in the GNM course just six months ago. 

He initially informed the college principal that he was an agricultural officer from Kerala and later claimed that he was a sub-inspector. He even acclaimed himself to be a RAW agent, in disguise. But his pretentious identity came down during a drug awareness program at college.
