New Delhi: A constable from the Railway Protection Force joined CBI (Central Bureau of Investigations) on deputation but was repatriated in less than a year. However, he didn’t shed his identity but instead forged it and continued using a fake CBI ID to dupe money from businessmen. Whenever he got a sense of a scam by any businessman through his contacts, he would send him a notice asking him to join the investigation.
Police said that he even roped in the local police to assist him in the case citing CBI protocol. He then would pose as a CBI officer, contact the target, and allegedly extort money from him in the name of relief from non-existent criminal charges. He was also settling land dispute charges in Delhi NCR, confirmed officials. The CBI has now arrested their former colleague who was identified as Sanjay Yadav, a resident of Meerut.
In a statement issued by the CBI spokesperson, RC Joshi, on Monday, said that the agency had registered a case against the accused after receiving complaints. “He was charged with allegations such as impersonation as a CBI official and committing extortion and forgery,” said the official. An inquiry on the case revealed that the accused was recruited in CBI on deputation in July 2022, which was prematurely repatriated in March 2023, and he was sent to his parent organization RPF. However, he allegedly kept misusing his identity, said the spokesperson.
It was alleged that after repatriation from CBI, he had used a duplicate CBI identity card to impersonate as an agency official posted at the CBI headquarters in Delhi. It has also been revealed that he even took the assistance of the Maya Mandi Police station in Muzaffarnagar, (UP), to issue a forged notice under section 91 of CrPC (issued by CBI) to a businessman there.
Investigations have brought to the front that the accused had allegedly demanded money from a businessman in turn for getting him relief from the non-existent CBI case. “It was also alleged that the accused threatened a businessman to strike a compromise with another person in a land dispute that was under legal procedures between them,” the official added.
After the FIR was filed, and investigations nabbed the suspect, several searches were conducted at the premises of the accused in Delhi and Meerut, which led to the recovery of several forged documents including his fake ID, forged notices, and other incriminating documents. “Further, incriminating documents were also recovered during a search at the residential premises of another Meerut resident who is also under investigation.” The accused was produced before the court on Monday, stated the official.
