The full story

Everything you need to know about this case, in one place.

According to investigators, the extortionists used a UAE-based number routed through virtual private servers to threaten a businessman in Roop Nagar for Rs 1 crore. The syndicate allegedly employed local operatives to arrange hideouts, coordinate with overseas callers, and recruit shooters to execute the threats.

Police analysis revealed that the same UAE contact number was used to target another businessman in Rohini with similar financial demands. Joint operations involving Delhi Police, Gujarat Police, and the Railway Protection Force led to the apprehension of three suspects while efforts continued to trace other members.

Authorities deployed preventive measures at the intended targets' homes, successfully thwarting planned firearm attacks. Police are currently analyzing communication trails, digital evidence, and financial transactions to uncover the full extent of the network's criminal operations.

Not yet reported: The reports do not specify the final legal charges filed against all arrested individuals or the identities of the primary overseas masterminds.
