Two men posing as police officers duped a 75-year-old retired government official of his valuables in Girgaum last week, police said Monday. “Kaprekar was returning home after paying a visit to a temple when two bike-borne accused approached the senior citizen posing as police officers. The two unidentified accused alleged that there was a riot-like situation ahead and asked him to remove his valuables. After the senior citizen reached home, he opened the handkerchief to find stones instead of his gold ornaments,” said an officer. After consulting with his son, Kaprekar approached the VP Road police station, following which a case was registered.
