Delhi Police Nab Five in Fake Cop Extortion Scheme

Five individuals posing as police officers have been apprehended in Delhi for allegedly abducting a local resident and attempting to extort money from him. The incident unfolded in Munirka in the early hours of June 16, sparking a swift police investigation.

According to Joshua Hmar, the victim, he managed to escape and alerted the authorities, leading to an extensive search to verify his account. Investigators analyzed CCTV footage, traced the suspects' vehicle, and utilized secret informers to locate the culprits, officials confirmed.
