CBI insignia, fake IDs: How Delhi bizman’s wife foiled ‘Special 26’-style raid

New Delhi witnessed an attempted 'Special 26'-style fake CBI raid at a businessman's Rohini residence when his wife refused to let a group claiming to be CBI officers enter. The group, reportedly consisting of eight to 10 individuals, asked for a search warrant and identity cards, but the woman allegedly refused despite their pressure and threats.

Neighbours questioned the group about their authorization, and when asked for a notice, the alleged fake officers claimed it was in their car. The family called the police helpline 112, leading to a police team's arrival. The complaint alleges that the group was wearing CBI insignia and carrying fake identity cards. A fabricated notice from the CBI Director was reportedly sent to the complainant's father on WhatsApp, though it was later deleted.

The family submitted a screenshot to the police. CCTV footage near the residence is being examined, and police are conducting an investigation.
