Father-son duo arrested for impersonating ED, CBI officers
The Gurugram police have arrested a father and son duo and also booked the accused’s wives for allegedly impersonating officials of the (ED) and the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and attempting to extort Rs 4 crore from the Haryana BJP spokesperson, who was also the Deputy Major of the Municipal Corporation of Gurugram (MCG), officials said on Thursday.
The accused had also sent fake summons with fake attestation of the ED director to extort money from the complainant.
The accused has been identified as Yashpal Arora, his wife Saroj Arora, son Rahul Arora and his wife Kanchan Arora, all residents of New Colony in Gurugram. A private person named Jitender Kumar, who was also involved in the act, has also been booked.
The complainant, Yashpal Batra, a resident of Pratap Nagar in Gurugram, said he came to know that a false application was moved by a person named Rajender Pathak in November 2021 against him, claiming that numerous properties worth Rs 363 crore were accumulated by Batra by illegal means.
“A few days later, Pathak came to me and disclosed that the application was moved at the instance of the accused persons, Yashpal Arora, Rahul Arora, Saroj Arora and Kanchan Arora, who claimed to be senior officers in the CBI and ED. They also threatened me if an amount of Rs 4 crore is not given to them, they will file an FIR against me and my entire family,” Batra told the police.
“Sacred, I was ready to pay the amount, but I made a condition to arrange a meeting with the remaining persons just to verify they really worked with the CBI and ED. Pathak then showed me their visiting cards and photocopies of their identity cards of ED and CBI,” Batra said in his complaint.
A meeting was fixed and Batra met the father-son duo in their car, with their wives standing outside.
“The duo showed their identity cards and demanded Rs 4 crore for withdrawal of the application moved by Pathak. They told me they received complaints against me regarding properties and they are investigating the matter on behalf of ED and CBI. They also disclosed to me that A.K. Singh and Gaurav Gupta are their senior officers,” he said.
“I told them that I don’t have such a big amount, and requested to pay in instalments,” he added.
The complainant had reportedly delivered an amount of Rs 10 lakh to the private person, Jitender Kumar, as instructed by the accused.
Later, the complaint came to know that the culprits did not work with CBI or ED, and had duped several people posing as fake officials just to extort money.
“Based on the complaint, the police laid a trap and caught Jitender Kumar red-handed while accepting Rs 2 lakh from the complainant. The police arrested Yashpal Arora, the mastermind behind the crime, and his son from their office on Thursday,” Preet Pal Sangwan, ACP (crime), said.

‘Felt unsafe’: Woman biker alleges car attack after asking occupants to maintain distance in Gurugram

Gurugram, Sep 14: A woman biker in Haryana’s Gurugram has alleged that a car repeatedly followed her before hitting her motorcycle and fleeing the spot, leaving her shaken and raising concerns over road safety in the city.
“I have nothing to say, but today I felt unsafe on Gurugram roads. People like these aren’t afraid of hitting people and running away,” the woman said after the incident.
The rider, who identifies herself as Sia and operates the Instagram page ‘rebelwheels_sia_’, uploaded footage of the incident on social media and described what she said happened before the collision.
According to Sia, the incident occurred on Sunday while she was riding her Aprilia RS 457 sports bike along Golf Course Road with members of her biking group.
In the video, she alleged that the occupants of a car had been following her from the beginning of the ride. She claimed that the people inside the vehicle behaved aggressively and attempted to get close to her motorcycle.
Sia said she asked the occupants to maintain a safe distance, but instead, they allegedly asked her to stop. She also claimed that the men appeared to be under the influence of alcohol.
The rider said she continued moving ahead in an attempt to prevent the car from cutting her off. A friend riding behind her also tried to intervene by positioning his motorcycle in a way that prevented the car from repeatedly coming alongside her.
Despite this, Sia alleged, the car continued following her. She claimed that at one point, the driver attempted to cut across the path of her motorcycle, resulting in a collision.
The impact knocked Sia off her bike, while her motorcycle was dragged several metres along the road. The car then reportedly left the area.
The incident was captured on an action camera fitted to Sia’s motorcycle.
She further alleged that one of her friends pursued the car and attempted to stop the driver. The vehicle eventually halted at a traffic signal, where the friend confronted the driver and allegedly told him that he was responsible for the collision.
However, according to Sia, the driver denied causing the accident and subsequently drove away from the traffic signal.
In a social media post, Sia appealed to the Gurugram Police to take action against motorists who allegedly put other road users at risk and flee after causing accidents.
She also shared the vehicle’s registration number and identified the registered owner mentioned in the vehicle’s registration certificate.
The video subsequently gained significant attention online, with social media users expressing support for the rider and calling for action against the alleged driver. Several users tagged the Delhi Police, Gurugram Police, Gurugram Traffic Police and Haryana Police, urging authorities to investigate the incident.
Some users also called for an FIR to be registered, while others highlighted concerns over rash driving and the safety of motorists, particularly on busy roads in Gurugram.
