2 brothers abducted, robbed in 'fake' policy raid
New Delhi, March 23 -- A 48-year-old businessman has been arrested for allegedly masterminding a "fake" police raid in a bid to "cheat" two businessman brothers in west Delhi's Rajouri Garden, police said on Sunday.
Police identified the accused as Harish Sharma, alias Rinku, a resident of Delhi with a jewellery business. Rinku, who owed the two brothers money, allegedly had them kidnapped and robbed at gunpoint by two men impersonating police officials, an officer said.
The incident took place on the night of March 19, when the victims, Sagar, 35, and Manik Sharma, 31, reached near the Rajouri Garden metro station to collect payment for gold and diamond jewellery that Harish had purchased from them.
However, two unidentified men, who were in plain clothes, forcibly entered the vehicle physically assaulting the two brothers, and robbing them of Rs.40 lakh in cash, as well as jewellery and other valuables worth around Rs.12 lakh.
They drove around for six hours before pushing the two brothers out of the car near a roadside restaurant in Haryana's Shahabad Markanda in Kurukshetra district, the officer said. There, using a local's phone, the brothers called up their father in Delhi's Paschim Vihar, who informed the police. The victims were acquainted with the accused and had previously had business dealings with him, including in gold and diamond jewellery, and in running two now-closed call centres in Uttar Pradesh's Noida.
