Clothes with CBI Badge, Fake IDs: ‘Special 26’ Style Raid Busted in Delhi

The family refused entry and called police after the group could not produce a search warrant, and officers are reviewing CCTV and electronic evidence.

  • On August 8, a group of eight to 10 men posing as Central Bureau of Investigation officers attempted a 'Special 26'-style raid on a businessman's residence in Rohini, Delhi, but were thwarted when his wife refused to open the gate.
  • The woman demanded proper authorization and a search warrant, prompting neighbours to gather and question the group, who claimed they had documentation in their vehicle before fleeing the scene.
  • Delhi Police have registered an FIR after examining CCTV footage that captured the incident, while officers are currently investigating the group's identity and their failed attempt to enter the home.
  • Following the attempt, a notice purportedly bearing the CBI Director's signature was sent to the complainant's father via WhatsApp, which the family submitted to authorities for analysis.
  • Authorities are actively pursuing leads to identify the suspects, with the family calling for swift arrests as the investigation continues into the group's actions and the digital notice's origin.
