A woman present at a Delhi residence denied entry to men claiming to be CBI officials, demanding identification and a valid warrant, thereby averting a fake raid.
A group of men arrived at a Delhi residence in the early hours, presenting themselves as officials of the Central Bureau of Investigation. The occupants, aware of a recent spate of counterfeit raids across the capital, were on high alert.
The businessman's wife, who was alone at home, refused to open the gate. She asked the intruders to produce proper identification and a legally sanctioned search warrant before granting any access.
When the men could not furnish the required documents, the wife maintained her stance, effectively preventing the unauthorized entry. Local police were later informed, and the incident is being investigated as a possible case of impersonation of law‑enforcement officers.
Authorities have warned the public to verify the credentials of any officials claiming to conduct raids, emphasizing that genuine CBI operations are always accompanied by official paperwork.
The episode underscores growing concerns about fake raids being used to intimidate or extort residents in Delhi's affluent neighborhoods.
