Woman poses as Punjab Police ASI for 2 months to land a rich marriage, but then caught over a tiffin box | What happened next
PTC Web Desk: The Moga Police have busted a strange case that sounds like it's straight out of a Bollywood film. A young woman from Ferozepur allegedly pretended to be an ASI in the Punjab Police for more than two months and even used the fake identity to marry into a wealthy family. The woman has been identified as Komalpreet Kaur, who lives in Mallewala village near Chandewala in Ferozepur district.
The police say she built an entire fake police persona just to boost her social status and land a marriage proposal from a well-off household. Around a month ago, she reportedly got married into that family, all while still pretending to be a police officer.
Here's where the story gets interesting. Komalpreet would show up regularly at the Sanjh Kendra near Moga City-1 Police Station and drop off her lunch tiffin with the staff there. Her reason? She claimed she was on traffic duty at Main Chowk and couldn't carry her lunch with her.
About an hour later, she'd come back, pick up her tiffin and head off again. This went on for weeks until someone decided to check the duty roster. And guess what? Her name wasn't on it. Anywhere.

Once suspicion set in, police staff started asking her basic questions like which batch she belonged to, where she was posted and who her senior officers were. She reportedly couldn't give convincing answers. That's when things unraveled quickly.
A search of her belongings turned up: a full Punjab Police uniform, two walkie-talkie sets and a forged departmental ID card. Everything about her looked real — the uniform, the walkie-talkies, the ID card — except for one small detail: she genuinely wasn't a police officer.
According to investigators, Komalpreet had reportedly kept up this act for over two months before getting caught. Her goal, the police believe, was simple: use the "police officer" tag to gain respect and social standing and use that image to secure a marriage into a financially well-off family.
The disguise held up for weeks until officers at the same police post she used to visit for lunch drops finally connected the dots.
A case has now been registered against her under sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) covering impersonation, forgery and misuse of official emblems.
The police are now investigating whether she used her fake police identity to take money or other benefits from anyone else during those two months.
