No search warrant, WhatsApp notice: How businessman's wife foiled fake CBI raid in Delhi's Rohini
A group of 8-10 people allegedly posing as CBI officials reached a businessman’s residence in Rohini, but his wife refused to open the gate. Police are investigating the alleged fake raid attempt.
In Delhi's Rohini, a businessman's wife thwarted a purported Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) raid by refusing to open the gate to a group claiming to be CBI officials. The family lodged a complaint stating that around 8-10 individuals arrived outside their residence and demanded entry, claiming to be conducting a CBI search.
However, the family found the visitors lacking in satisfactory proof of identity and proper authorization for the search. The woman, under pressure and threats, did not allow the group to enter the house. The uninvited visitors reportedly stayed outside for nearly one-and-a-half hours, insisting they were CBI personnel. Neighbors noticed the unusual activity and questioned the group about the supposed search operation, demanding documentation to prove their legitimacy.
When asked for a search warrant, the group allegedly said the document was in their vehicle and left to retrieve it. The family then contacted the police, and a team arrived at the residence. The complainant alleged that the impostors tried to appear legitimate by wearing CBI insignia and carrying fake identity cards. They also claimed that a fabricated notice with the CBI Director's name and signature was sent via WhatsApp, which was later deleted.
The incident was captured on CCTV cameras, which may assist investigators in reconstructing the events and examining the movements of the group. The allegations are currently under police investigation.
