Hindustan Times Punjab|December 18, 2024
NEW DELHI: Four men posing as Delhi Police officers accused a group of college students of running a fake call centre, then conducted a fake raid at their house, confiscated ₹1.55 lakh in cash, and forced them to sit in the "murga" position, police said on Tuesday, uncovering a bizarre case of "crimes" and "punishments" that unfolded last week.

The accused—Manpreet Singh, 29, Junaid Wasid, 23, Kuldeep Singh, 22, and Sarabjeet Singh alias Prince, 22—were all arrested on Tuesday, police said. All are residents of west Delhi and were booked on December 12 under charges of robbery with attempt to cause death or grievous hurt.

The accused then cornered all six students, assaulted them, and seized their phones and laptops, Salve's complaint mentions.

Despite presenting their college IDs and denying any wrongdoing, the four men forcibly took their mobile phones and brought them to their flat in the name of conducting searches.

The so-called "raid" at the students' flat continued for four hours on December 10.
