A Nepalese man was arrested in Varanasi on Monday for enlisting in the Indian Army, allegedly through an ‘identity theft’, police said.
The accused, who allegedly identified himself as Dilip Giri, was nabbed in the Cantonment area of the temple city by the Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) of the Uttar Pradesh police.
Working on intelligence inputs, that some foreigners had managed to get recruited into the Army, the ATS identified three persons who allegedly got into the Gorkha Rifles via the 39 Gorkha Training Centre in Varanasi.
