Gym Trainer and 5 Associates Arrested for Robbery in Bengaluru
In Bengaluru, a gym trainer named Mohammed Najash and his five friends tricked two women by pretending to be police officers.
They went to the women's house during a birthday party and said they were there to check for drugs.
They scared the women and demanded money to not press charges.
The women didn't have the money, so the fake police took their phones and told them to get the money the next day.
Later, the real police found out what happened and arrested all six men.
The men are now in jail waiting for their trial.
Six men, including a gym trainer, were arrested for robbing two women by impersonating police officers.
The victims met the main accused, Mohammed Najash, on a dating platform and invited him to their birthday party.
The accused posed as police officers, conducted a fake inspection, and threatened the victims with drug charges.
They demanded Rs 5 lakh to drop the charges and took the victims' mobile phones as collateral.
The real police traced the accused using call detail records and CCTV footage, leading to their arrest.
