The Ahmednagar district police have arrested three persons for trespass after they attempted an unlawful entry at the Armoured Corps Centre and School (ACCS).

A case has been lodged by the Bhingar Camp police against the trio for trying to enter the restricted armed forces area.

One of the accused, identified as Pradeep Sitaram Shinde of Goregaon, Ahmednagar, was apprehended by the security staff on Thursday at the ACCS for impersonating a soldier.

His accomplices, identified as Rizwan Eijaz Ali and Sonu Chaudhari, hail from Uttar Pradesh, said the police.

According to a release, the security staff found Shinde, dressed in combat dress, and his accomplices moving suspiciously near the establishment premises. The ACCS is out of bounds for the general public.

On being questioned, Shinde produced a soldier’s identity card which was found to be forged.
