Three Gangs Busted in Bhopal for Fake Police Extortion
Some bad people in a city called Bhopal pretended to be police officers.
They told people they would get them in trouble with the law.
Then they asked for money to 'help' them escape.
Police caught three groups of these fake officers in about 20 days.
In one case, three people took Rs 70,000 from a man in a hotel.
In another case, four people stole a young man's gold chain.
They even threatened to put him in trouble over drugs.
Two other men took money from people driving cars.
The real police say people should tell them if someone pretends to be a police officer.
Now the fake officers are in trouble instead.
At least three gangs impersonating police officers have been busted in Bhopal within the past 20 days.
On August 11, Piplani police arrested Abuzar, Raghuveer and Karuna Shahi for extorting Rs 70,000 from a man in a hotel room.
A Misrod gang posing as Crime Branch officials robbed a 22-year-old man of his gold chain while threatening to frame him in a drug case.
In Shahpura, two men posing as police collected money from motorists by threatening them with challans on July 31.
Police urged residents to approach police stations if threatened or blackmailed in the name of cops.
