"He had used these morphed images to flex connection with top government officers and ministers and duped people by assuring them tenders or job in government departments," the officer added.

Kashif was held from Greater Noida on Wednesday by an STF team. The police have impounded a Mercedes car used by him and seized three Apple iPhones, according to the official.

An FIR has been lodged under Indian Penal Code sections 420 (cheating), 467, 468, 471 (all related to forgery) as well under provisions of the Information Technology Act, the police said.
