‘Mere impersonation is not an offence’; Kerala HC quashes case against man impersonated as police officer to enter cricketer S. Sreesanth’s house
Kerala High Court said that though the security guard was induced to permit the accused to enter the house due to impersonation, there is no allegation that any damage or harm was caused to the security guard. And, as the person neither cheated nor harmed, the offence of Section 419 IPC cannot be attracted.
