Fake CJI Account Seeks Money on X; FIR Filed with Delhi Police Cyber Unit

A day after a viral post on X, a complaint has been lodged with the Delhi Police’s cyber unit against a social media account impersonating Chief Justice D.Y. Chandrachud and soliciting money.

The viral post, featuring a screenshot from the microblogging platform, shows the impersonator claiming to be CJI Chandrachud and stating that they were stranded at Connaught Place (CP).

The impersonator requested Rs 500 for transportation, citing an urgent need to reach an important collegium meeting at the Supreme Court.

The message read, “Hello, I am CJI and we have an urgent collegium meeting. I am stuck at Connaught Place. Can you send me Rs 500 for a cab? I will return the money once I reach the court.” Supreme Court authorities, upon noticing the viral post, ensured that an FIR was filed with the Delhi Police’s cyber branch.
