A young man, identified as Sooraj Praveen, 18, was arrested by the Ernakulam Town North police for impersonating an Indian Navy officer in Kochi. He was found with a fake identity card, Navy emblem cap, and a lieutenant uniform while residing at a local lodge. The staff became suspicious of his behavior, prompting them to alert law enforcement. The act was reportedly not motivated by financial gain but rather an effort to seek attention. This incident highlights the importance of vigilance among the public and law enforcement in protecting the integrity of the armed forces, as such impersonations can undermine public trust and potentially compromise security.
