Police arrested   Chakraborty   from State Bank of India, Evening Branch in the city.

Police said that the former cop had duped countless people in Kolkata by claiming himself to be an Assistant Commissioner of the Detective Department   of West Bengal police.

In one of the cases in Ekbalpore in Kolkata, the accused is alleged of making a forged ID card of Kolkata Police and after impersonating himself as Deputy Superintendent of Police of CBI. He coerced one person either to pay Rs 25 lakhs or be implicated in a false case.

The complainant, Abdul Munaf of Kolkata paid Rs ten lakh to get rid of him and thereafter paid the rest of the amount.

Anjan Chakraborty was immediately produced in the court after his arrest and he was taken back to Kolkata by West Bengal Police for further investigation.

Earlier, a raid was also conducted in Arunachal Pradesh but he could not be located.

This is not the first time where a case was lodged against the retired police inspector. In 2014, two FIRs were registered against him at Shillong Sadar police station by two persons for his involvement in a fraud case and for indirectly cheating them off Rs 19,50,000 and Rs 14, 000 respectively.

Shillong Police also recovered two mobile phones, cash and few fake identity cards from his possession.
