Fake CBI Raid Attempt Foiled at Businessman's Delhi Residence, Police Investigate

Fake CBI Raid Attempt Foiled at Businessman's Delhi Residence, Police InvestigatePreviousNext

In Delhi's Rohini, a group of 8-10 individuals posing as CBI officials attempted a fake raid at a businessman's residence. The businessman's wife refused to open the gate despite pressure and threats, prompting neighbors to question the group about proper authorization. The suspects, dressed in CBI insignia and carrying identity cards, lingered for about 1.5 hours before leaving on the pretext of fetching a search warrant. The family reported the incident to police, who have registered a case and are investigating, including examining CCTV footage. A purported notice bearing the CBI Director's name was also sent via WhatsApp but later deleted.
