An intricate extortion scheme masquerading as a legitimate Special Task Force has been unraveled by police, encompassing a traffic sub-inspector, a home guard, and a female PRD jawan among its core members.

Authorities made arrests as the gang, led by the absconding Ajit Yadav, used counterfeit police emblems to execute fake raids and extort money.

The deceitful syndicate focused on exploiting those involved in illegal activities, leveraging intimidation and impersonation to extract substantial sums under the threat of fabricated charges.
