Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell spoke on the phone early this year with someone posing as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the Fed confirmed — an embarrassing episode for the central bank chief.
An alleged video of Powell’s conversation was shown on Russian state television and reported by Bloomberg News. The Fed said the footage appears to have been edited and therefore could not confirm its accuracy.
“Chair Powell participated in a conversation in January with someone who misrepresented himself as the Ukrainian president,” a Fed spokesperson said in a statement. “It was a friendly conversation and took place in a context of our standing in support of the Ukrainian people in this challenging time. No sensitive or confidential information was discussed.”

3 Iranians posing as cops duped Yemen national, held in Gurugram

[ad_1]
Gurugram: Gurugram Police arrested three Iranian nationals who allegedly posed as policemen and duped a Yemen national, police said on Monday.
The Yemen national visited India for his wife’s medical treatment in Gurugram.
The accused, who came to India on valid visas, were held from Delhi on April 5 and were taken on remand, police said.

The Iranian nationals have been identified as Hossein Rezaeifard, Marammad Hussain Peerfalak and Abdol Salam.
After investigating the accused, police learnt that the three used to target foreign nationals who were here for medical treatment.
Posing as police officials, the accused used to approach the foreign nationals by posing as police and ask for their wallets to check if they are carrying any narcotic substance, following which they used to escape with the money in the wallets.
In this case, the accused also duped the victim of 4300 (USD) and other documents. The victim told the police on January 15 he was on his way to the guest house when the trio posed as police officers, duped him and escaped the spot.
“The accused were professional criminals and committed three similar types of crime in Delhi and Gurugram. They arrived in India 5/6 months ago and committed the crime. The accused are taken on police remand for further probe,” Preet Pal Sangwan, ACP (crime) said.

Man arrested for posing as PMO official’s relative

[ad_1]
Gurugram: A 30-year-old man was arrested on Monday for allegedly masquerading as a relative of a Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) official and making indecent remarks and threatening a station house officer (SHO), police said.
The arrested accused was identified as Satyaprakash Arya alias Siddharth, who was arrested from Sector-58 Gurugram.
According to the police, SHO of Sector-65 police station Gurugram, Sudhir Kumar received a phone call on his official mobile number on the intervening night of Saturday and Sunday, and the caller introduced himself as a relative of a higher official of PMO and asked him to get a free entry in a Byob (Agatha) located in Police Station Sector-65 jurisdiction.

But the SHO refused the accused to help him to get free entry into the premises of the Byob.
Following this, the caller started pressuring the SHO on the name of the senior police officers and said that he is a relative of a high official posted in PMO and threatened the SHO with dire consequences.
Following this, an FIR was registered against the accused under relevant sections of the IPC at Police Station Sector-65, Gurugram.
“During the probe, the SHO nabbed the accused, who disclosed to the police that he works as a telecaller in a private company located in Sector-18, Gurugram. He along with his accomplices had gone to Byob located in the area of Police Station Sector-65, Gurugram and had committed the aforesaid crime to enter the bar without paying any entry fee,” said Preet Pal Sangwan, ACP (crime).
To hide his identity, the accused had also introduced himself with a fake name. It was also found that the officer appointed in PMO, whose name the accused was taken found to be fake, he said.

A mobile phone and SIM card used by the accused in the execution of the crime have also been recovered from the possession of the accused, police said.

Who will resign for this?: Cong on conman posing as PMO official in Kashmir

[ad_1]
New Delhi: The Congress on Saturday expressed concern over the case of a conman posing as a PMO official and getting requisite perks, saying if the government is serious about the country’s security then it must make it clear who will resign for the lapse.
Kiran Bhai Patel from Gujarat has been arrested by police from a five-star hotel in Srinagar for posing as an ‘additional secretary’ in the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) and enjoying security cover besides other hospitality.
He had three cases registered against him in his home state, police said on Friday.
At a press conference, Congress’ media and publicity department head Pawan Khera said it was a very serious matter pertaining to the country’s security and the government probably was not focussed on such matters as it was “busy protecting the prime minister’s best friend”.
“If anyone asks questions to the Modi government, he is anti-national. Which national interest are you serving? If you are at least a little serious about the security of the nation, then tell me that at the political level who will resign in this matter?” Khera said.
मोदी सरकार से अगर कोई सवाल पूछ ले तो एंटी नेशनल है और इनके नाम पर Z+ सुरक्षा ले तो ‘राष्ट्र प्रथम’ है।
ये कौन सा राष्ट्रहित साध रहे हैं आप?
अगर आप राष्ट्र की सुरक्षा को लेकर थोड़े भी गंभीर हैं तो यह बताइए कि इस मामले में किसका इस्तीफा होगा?

“Our three essential questions are — can a PMO officer get Z+ security, should Z+ security be given and is Z+ security availed so easily. It is very important to know from which level the instructions to give security to a thug came?” he said.
In a sensitive area like Jammu and Kashmir, a person has been cheating the security forces for five months and is roaming in those areas with Z+ security by making a PMO card, where common citizens cannot go, he said and raised questions over the government’s intelligence mechanism.
Khera said the government must answer whose resignation will be taken for this lapse.

The ruling party has such a toolkit that the one who asks questions of them is an anti-national while one person takes Z+ security by printing fake cards of the PMO, the Congress leader alleged.
According to court documents, Patel was on his third visit to the Kashmir valley and was subsequently nabbed by alert security officials on March 3.
Patel had claimed he had been given a mandate by the government to identify buyers for apple orchards in south Kashmir and a couple of IAS officers were in awe of him as he had been dropping names of high-ranking bureaucrats and politicians in the national capital.

CBI books imposter posing as IAS officer in PMO

[ad_1]
New Delhi: The CBI has registered a case against one Ankit Kumar Singh for allegedly impersonating a secretary in the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) handling the Varanasi Lok Sabha constituency and seeking favours from senior government officials.
The federal agency acted on a complaint from Assistant Director in PMO Anil Kumar Sharma, officials said.
The case has been handed over to the CBI’s Special Crime unit, headed by Joint Director Viplav Kumar Choudhry, who was awarded the President Police Medal for distinguished service on Republic Day, they added.
In its complaint, Sharma has accused Singh of claiming himself to be Dinesh Rao, a 1997-batch Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officer of the Bihar cadre, and posted as a secretary in the PMO who looks after Varanasi district in Uttar Pradesh.
“His mobile number is 9454008098 and he is learnt to have contacted Prabhu Narayan Singh, District Magistrate, Agra, Uttar Pradesh, seeking favours for ‘his constituency’. Prima facie, it appears to be a case of impersonation as a PMO official since no official by this name is posted in this office,” Sharma said.
