UP: Police bust fake international police, crime investigation bureau office in Noida; 6 arrested

NOIDA: Central Zone Police busted a fake international police and crime investigation bureau office in Noida’s Sector 70. During the operation, they seized multiple fake IDs, stamps, and letterheads.

While speaking,  DCP Shakti Mohan Awasthi said, “Six people have been arrested in this case. Almost one week to 10 days ago, they had set up an office in Noida, Sector 70.

And after that, we came to know that these people were using the police logo, collars and without any authorisation.”

“They impersonated government officials and attempted to create a parallel system. The police received confidential information about their activities and registered a case under sections related to cheating and misuse of official documents. Upon investigation, the police found visiting cards, ID cards, chequebooks, and other documents, but no supporting documents to validate their claims of being a transnational police force,” DCP added.

He also informed that the six arrested individuals are from Bengal. He said, “One did LLB, one did MBA, and the rest four are 12th pass.”
