India, June 15 -- A man who dropped out of school in the 4th standard and built a criminal career by impersonating Crime Branch police officers to rob and cheat people across India. The man has had the stringent Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) invoked against him by Delhi's Central District Police, less than two years after he walked out of judicial custody in a previous MCOCA case in Mumbai and went straight back to crime.

The accused, Nasir Hafiz Khan, also known as Irani and Sameer, is a resident of Bhogal in Delhi, originally from Ambiwali in Mumbai. He has 38 criminal cases against him across Delhi, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, and Haryana.

DCP Central District Rohit Rajbir Singh confirmed the action. "...
