The cybercrime cell of Ahmedabad Police on Friday held an Amreli doctor for faking his email ID to suggest that he was writing from the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO).

The accused, Vijay Parikh, sent the emails to senior officials of the Gujarat government directing them to act in a property dispute with another doctor. Parikh attached forged stationery of the PMO to tell the officials to make the other doctor vacate the property. According to the complaint lodged by police inspector R J Chaudhary of the cybercrime cell, Parikh has a clinic in Amreli. The FIR says Parikh is locked in a dispute with the other doctor over a property in Doctor House near Parimal Garden in Ahmedabad.

As Parikh’s email ID seemed suspicious, the government called in the cyber crime cell. “We obtained information from the service provider which led us to Parikh’s mobile number,” said a cybercrime cell official. The cybercrime cell has registered an offence under various sections of the Indian Penal Code and the IT Act. The accused has confessed to his crime, the cell’s officials said.
