A 21-year-old man who duped people by posing as an Army officer was arrested by police in Lucknow on Tuesday.

The youngster, Vikram Singh, is the son of a policeman and conned people dressed as a Lieutenant on pretext of getting them a job in the defence force.

He was arrested by a team of Cyber Crime Cell and police after he cheated at least half a dozen people. Singh started deceiving people soon after passing out from a school in 2015.

His father, Umashankar Singh, a Sub-Inspector, is currently posted at Wazirganj Police Station.
