Delhi Police's Crime Branch on Wednesday claimed to have busted a gang of fake policemen who would extort people after setting up honey traps in outer Delhi's Kanjhawala area, police said.

Three fake Delhi Police identity cards and a Delhi Police head constable rank uniform were also recovered from the accused.

''Neeraj Tyagi alias Dheeraj alias Dheeru, 42 Years, of Tilak Nagar, Ashish Mathur, 31, of Karala, and Deepak alias Sajan, 30, of Kharkhoda were arrested near Budh Vihar Nala, Main Kanjhawala Road on Tuesday,'' Additional Commissioner of Police (crime) Sanjay Bhatia said.

The accused were taken to the Crime Branch office for further interrogations where they tried to escape from the custody but were overpowered, Bhatia added.

Neeraj and Deepak were wanted in a honey trap case of Bindapur in the Dwarka district, he said.

Another officer said that in August, 2024, a 60-year-old doctor was contacted through telephone by an unknown girl.

The girl had some chat with the doctor and after a few days, the girl called him at her home, saying that her mother was ill.

''The doctor went to the address of the girl, located near the Janakpuri Metro station, West Delhi. There, she served him snacks,'' the officer said.

The girl unbuttoned the doctor's shirt and four people, including two in police uniform, entered the room, police said in a statement.

The girl escaped and all the four people caught the doctor and allegedly extorted Rs nine lakh from him by threatening arresting in a criminal case, it stated.

The complainant reported the incident to the local police of Binda Pur and a case under relevant sections of the BNS was registered. Four accused, including two women, were arrested but Neeraj and Deepak were absconding, Bhatia said.
