Shillong: One, Gaurav Lama (25), resident of Jhalupara, was caught by the Excise Department officers on Tuesday after he was found impersonating to be a journalist, claiming to be a reporter of The Shillong Times.

The incident happened when the officers and staff of the Excise department were conducting a raid on illicit liquor dens in the area.

According to sources, the imposter barged into an illicit liquor den where the raid was being conducted with a pen and a paper. When confronted by press persons present in the scene, Lama changed his tone and was immediately apprehended by the Excise personnel.

Lama was later handed over to police.

It may be mentioned here that Lama had worked as a trainee sub-editor with The Shillong Times for 6 months seven years ago.

Meanwhile, the Shillong Press Club filed an FIR against Lama.
