The Mumbai Crime Branch arrested two people on Thursday for mimicking the voice of Nationalist Congress Party Chief Sharad Pawar to get an officer transferred in Mantralaya. Their accomplice in another case where they earlier impersonated the veteran politician, was also arrested on Thursday.  

According to the Mumbai Crime Branch, on Wednesday, a secretary level officer of the Revenue Department of Mantralaya received a call, wherein the caller claimed to be Pawar, calling from Silver Oak. Silver Oak is the NCP leader's residence in Mumbai. The caller asked that a junior officer from the Revenue Department be transferred to another department. The number on display was that of Silver Oak. However, the officer at Mantralaya who had received the call, felt something was amiss and called Silver Oak. He was told Pawar was in New Delhi. The matter was informed to the police.
