Alert cops caught a 40-year-old man who was found misbehaving with anganawadi workers, who are protesting on Sheshadri Road, posing as journalist on Wednesday.
The accused, identified as Murali, was caught by alert cops when he was clicking pictures of the women and recording their personal details on the pretext of an interview.
Though he claimed to be the editor of a local tabloid, the police on questioning him found out that he neither had any ID card nor represented any media.
The accused has been taken to Upparpet police station for further questioning.
