According to Manish Singh, UP STF Noida Unit, the team arrested the accused from the Paramount Golf Forest Society, Surajpur, Greater Noida. The man, who sometimes introduced himself as Major Amit and at other times as a senior RAW official, also operated a fake company through which he duped people into fraudulent investments. STF officials seized documents related to the company as well.

Authorities clarified that the accused had no connection to the Delhi blasts and used his fake identity to defraud innocent people.
Fraudulent Marriage and Elaborate Deception
Additional SP Rajkumar Mishra stated that the accused even married a woman judge under false pretenses. The arrest revealed the extent of his sophisticated deception. During the raid, STF officers found the accused presenting himself as Suneet Kumar, son of late Brijnandan Shah, holding a fake ID card claiming rank as Joint Secretary and Director (Operations), JIC National Security Council, RAW. The card also mentioned the Research and Analysis Service and a fabricated birthdate of March 25, 1988.
Verification Exposed the Fraud
Upon suspicion, STF officials informed senior RAW authorities. Investigation confirmed that the name did not exist in any official register. Further, the flat owner, Manju Gupta, revealed that the accused had rented the flat under the name Major Amit Kumar and even obtained a police verification certificate on a Delhi Police Deputy Commissioner’s letterhead, which was later discovered to be part of the fraud.
