LUCKNOW The Lucknow police lodged an FIR against unknown persons after a forged recommendation letter, bearing the stamp of principal secretary (home), was sent to the office of UP DGP, seeking police security for two city realtors.
The fake letter sent through registered post asked police officials to provide two gunners each to both the realtors on government expenses and inform the office of principal secretary (home) within 15 days, said police.
