  "account": "Asifa and Pooja Aggarwal befriended each other at a bar in Delhi and hatched a scheme to extort businessmen who were believed to possess black money. Their plan included posing as representatives from agencies like the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), the Enforcement Directorate (ED), or local police forces, conducting fake raids and stealing cash and valuables. To carry out their plot, they procured uniforms resembling those of senior police officers, forged identity cards, and created false agency letterheads. These decoy raids involved men hired for Rs 4,000-5,000 and dressed in black suits. In the most recent incident, the duo knocked on the wrong door, leading to their arrest.\n\nA businessman living in Rohini's Prashant Vihar neighborhood was tipped off by a former colleague and reported the suspicious activity to the police. Consequently, Asifa, Pooja, and Kuldeep Sharma were apprehended. Shashank Jaiswal, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Rohini), stated that the gang aimed to target wealthy businessmen with unaccounted money, illegal call centers, and betting syndicates. Asifa and Pooja allegedly used tips from informants at hotels or social gatherings to execute raids in the guise of CBI, ED, or Crime Branch officials.",
