2 fake ‘CBI officers’ arrested for fraud
The sleuths of the Delhi police has arrested four persons who duped gullible people in the guise of CBI officers. Fake appointment letters, admit cards, stamps, and other incriminating articles have been seized.
The arrested are Rawender Singh alias Nitin (30), Ajit Pratap Singh (31), Ankit Singh (29), and Gyanendra Kumar (25). Accused Rawender and Ankit posed as CBI officers.
The police said that the cheat came to light when one Asif Ali approached the police and said that one Rawender Singh had promised to help him get a govt job.
The complainant further said that his brother arranged a meeting with Rawender Singh in Ginger Hotel at Vivek Vihar, Delhi. Rawender Singh introduced himself as a CBI officer and informed him that he will arrange a government job for him. He demanded `3.5 lakh for the same. The complainant was called to Lucknow where he gave `3.5 lakh to Rawender Singh and his brother Ankit Singh. He was asked to fill in a form and was called to Kanpur where his signature was obtained on a register for training.
The police said that the complainant was then called to Unnao for training. However, he was informed that somebody else will undergo training on his behalf. He was given an identity card and informed that he has been appointed at the Food Corporation of India (FCI). Later on, his original identity card was taken back and the complainant was informed that the same will be provided to him at the time of joining. He was informed that he had been declared a permanent employee by the court and `5,000 was taken from him as court fee. He was later charged `5,100 and given a card of FCI. However, it came to his notice that he had been cheated.
