ThePrint spoke to police officers to understand what makes a conman. Honey trap-like tactics, use of media & social media, posing as string-pullers with ruling party all part of tactics.
Gujarat ‘conman’ Kiran Patel allegedly posed as a PMO official and duped J&K administration. How did he do it? What were his connections, and what exactly was his motive?
Central to Patel's mimicry of being a high-powered government official is sharing development projects in Kashmir, while also co-opting signs of nationalism like Indian flag.
We now live in a world order that will keep shifting. India must use this window. This also means we remain disciplined enough not to be knee-jerked into reacting to what Pakistan sees as its moment in the sun.
