If the Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud slid into your Instagram Direct Messages (DM) asking for Rs 500, would you buy it? That’s exactly what happened with Indian netizens this week when someone pretended to be the “CJI” in search of cab fare.<\/p>\n

A complaint has been filed with the cyber unit of the Delhi Police<\/a> against a social media handle<\/a> for impersonating Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud and seeking money. <\/p>\n

This action came after a post on X went viral, where the impersonator, claiming to be CJI Chandrachud, stated that he was stranded at Connaught Place<\/a> and urgently needed Rs 500 for cab to attend an important collegium meeting<\/a> at the Supreme Court<\/a>.<\/p>\n
