Mumbai News: Fake CBI Officer Who Duped Rakesh Roshan Gets 3-Yr Jail
Mumbai: The special CBI court on Tuesday sentenced Delhi resident Ashwini Kumar to three years imprisonment as he along with another accused, Rajesh Ranjan, extorted Rs 50 lakhs from a businessman named Satish Panchariya posing as CBI officials in 2013.
Kumar who suffers from 83% disabilities, was allowed to appear through video conferencing for pronouncement of the judgment.
The two were also accused of having extorted money from Bollywood filmmaker Rakesh Roshan and several other people by posing as CBI officials. The two are estimated to have earned more than Rs20-Rs30 crore through extortion activities.
The special court had sentenced Ranjan to three years’ imprisonment on February 8, 2022. However, the trial against Kumar was separated on December 1 2021, since he was bedridden and not in a condition to understand anything. Three years on, when Kumar was found to have recovered a bit, the court proceeded against him and recorded his statement last month. Besides, on Monday, the Bombay High Court made an exception and allowed him to appear before the court through video conferencing.
The case against Kumar and Ranjan alleged that at the relevant time, he was director of Alka India Pvt Ltd Co, which is in textile business. The brother of the complainant was also a businessman in abroad. One day the complainant and his driver were summoned by the CBI for a probe relating to one RP Meena. On this, the complainant got scared and informed the same to his family members and the friends.
Rs 50 Lakh Extorted By Duo
A friend of the complainant came in contact with Ranjan, who posed as a CBI officer and assured that he will manage everything, with the help of his colleague in Delhi. Ranjan then got them to meet Kumar.
The two demanded Rs.1 crore from them and after negotiation the money was reduced to Rs.50 lakh. It was claimed that Ranjan informed the complainant and his brother to pay Rs.50 lakh to Kumar. At that time, it was assured by both Ranjan and Kumar that the file would not be moved to Mumbai and would be closed down in Delhi itself.
Thereafter, the complainant was constantly chased and threatened by Kumar that if he did not accept his demand of payment of Rs.50 lakh, then the CBI would drag him in a number of criminal cases. Finally, out of fear the family paid them money in July 2011.

UP: Man Beats Wife To Death In Amroha For Not Meeting Dowry Demands Of TVS Apache Bike & ₹3 Lakh Cash
Amroha: In a tragic incident from Uttar Pradesh’s Amroha, a young woman named Meena was brutally beaten to death by her husband, Sundar, for not fulfilling his dowry demands. Sundar, a resident of Baikheda village, had been married to Meena for two years and had persistently demanded a TVS Apache bike and Rs 3 lakh as dowry. Despite repeated harassment over the dowry, Meena was unable to meet his demands, a situation she had confided to her father.
Meena had been staying at her father’s home in Soharka since the festival of Rakshabandhan, possibly seeking refuge from the abuse. Sundar continued visiting her daily, often having meals with her family, creating an appearance of normalcy.
Sundar Brought Meena Back Home, Later Killed Her
On Sunday night, he came to bring her back to his house. Once there, Sundar confronted her again about the dowry and, in a violent fit of rage, attacked her with sticks. Unable to force her compliance, he strangled her to death before fleeing the scene.
It was the local residents who first alerted the authorities to the murder. Upon hearing the devastating news, Meena’s family rushed to the police station, demanding immediate action against Sundar. Her father, Vijay Khadak Banshi, later lodged a formal complaint accusing Sundar, along with his mother, sister and four others, of involvement in the crime.
Case Filed, Manhunt Launched To Nab Accused
The police have registered a case based on the family’s complaint and are actively searching for Sundar, who remains at large. Meanwhile, Meena’s body has been sent for a post-mortem examination to aid in the ongoing investigation.
