Approximately ten individuals arrived at a businessman's residence in Rohini claiming to be CBI officials, but family members grew wary of their authenticity. The woman of the house requested to see the raid documentation before opening the gate, a precaution that likely prevented the group from gaining entry.
When asked to produce official paperwork authorizing the search, the visitors were unable to provide satisfactory credentials. The family's suspicion prompted them to refuse access and alert authorities.
Delhi police have since launched an investigation into the incident, examining CCTV footage from the residence to identify the individuals involved. Officers are also verifying the legitimacy of any notices or documents the group claimed to possess.
The incident underscores growing concerns about impersonation frauds targeting Delhi residents. Police have urged citizens to verify the credentials of officials claiming authority to conduct raids or searches, and to request official identification and documentation before allowing entry to their homes.
