Sounak Chakraborty Arrested for Impersonation and Misuse of Beacon

The accused, identified as Mr. Sounak Chakraborty, was travelling with his wife, mother, and three security guards in a vehicle illegally fitted with a beacon—typically reserved for high-ranking government officials. His behavior and the presence of the guards raised suspicions among local residents.

According to officers from Entally police station, Mr. Chakraborty initially claimed to be with the Delhi Police. However, when questioned further, he gave multiple contradictory statements—first claiming to be a Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) in the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), and later stating that he worked with the Income Tax Department and was on deputation in West Bengal.

Locals Alert Police Following Suspicious Behavior

The incident occurred near Bidhan Bhavan, the state Congress headquarters. Mr. Chakraborty’s request for a VVIP toilet, combined with his convoy-like travel, created suspicion among locals who began questioning his credentials. Realizing inconsistencies in his responses, they promptly informed law enforcement.

Police officers from Entally station responded quickly, detaining Mr. Chakraborty and conducting a preliminary investigation, which confirmed the impersonation. He was formally arrested shortly thereafter.

Driver and Security Guards Also Arrested

Along with Mr. Chakraborty, the three guards and the driver who accompanied him were also arrested for their alleged complicity in the offense. Authorities are now probing whether this impersonation had been used in other fraudulent activities.

Bureaucratic Integrity Safeguarded Through Public Vigilance

This incident highlights the critical role of public awareness and active policing in maintaining the sanctity of bureaucratic systems. The swift response by Entally police ensured that a potential misuse of authority was quickly curbed, reinforcing public trust in law enforcement.
