Incredible event in India… The criminal gang set up a fake police station and defrauded hundreds of people!
An unbelievable event in India overflowed the country’s newspapers and made headlines in the world press. What a criminal gang did just 500 meters away from a real police station, so to speak, swallowed the tongue of the hearer…
The Actions Of The Gang Members Caught By The Indian police caused both shock and anger in the country.
Anita Devi Murmu, 25, who was among the ringleaders of the gang, was caught wearing a black hat and police uniform with a pistol in a brown holster attached to her belt.
According to reports, Anita Devi Murmu admitted to posing as the head of the police station located on the main road in the center of Banka, a town in the eastern Indian state of Bihar.
According to media reports, Murmu would talk to locals and promise solutions to their problems in exchange for bribes ranging from £1 to £500.
At the fake police station, 27-year-old Aakash Kumar Manjhi was the other gang member who wore fake badges on his shoulders and pretended to be a serious deputy inspector.

THEY ESTABLISHED A FAKE POST AT THE NOSE OF THE REAL POST !
Moreover, they did this only 500 meters away from a real police station and extorted money from hundreds of people.
An Indian gang disguised as a civil servant and ran a fake police station made from a guesthouse for eight months, extorting money from hundreds of people right under the noses of real officers.
Dressed in fake clothing, only 500 meters from a police station and employing six people, this fake police station was a place where those who wanted to file complaints from local residents, file crime reports and apply for government aid came and were defrauded by paying the money requested from them.
However, the gang were caught red-handed two days ago when they tried to scam business owners at a local mall.
Murmu and Manjhi said they are conducting a field survey of the government-funded shopping complex under construction. But this was of course a lie.
WHEN A REAL POLICE DOUBTS…
“They talked to a few applicants and told them to visit the police station on Thursday for the allocation of stores,” said Shambhu Yadav, head of the bank’s actual police station.
While the two were returning from the scene, Yadav spotted Murmu in uniform and became suspicious when he realized that his weapon was a locally made Katta pistol rather than an official standard pistol.
When he asked her where she was posted, the woman became nervous and struggled to answer, explaining.
‘We heard for the first time that there is a fake police station in India’
“We took them to the actual police station, and during interrogation they admitted that they operated a police station nearby,” Yadav said.
Police raided the fake police station and seized four uniforms, 40 voter ID cards used to apply for various rural development plans, bank checkbooks and five mobile phones.
They also found 500 unsubmitted application forms for the government’s private housing plan that provides affordable shelter for poor people.
“For a routine police complaint they would charge between 100 rupees and 500 rupees, but for the allocation of houses and police work, a bribe would be several thousand rupees,” the authorities said.
Forms and complaints were never submitted.
“We Have Heard Of Cases Of Fake Police or investigative officers in the country . But this is the first time we’ve heard of a fake police station,” he said.
Murmu and Manjhi were arrested along with three others, Ramesh Kumar, Wakil Kumar and Julie Kumari Manjhi.
The man believed to be the boss of the gang is still at large.

POLICE FRAUD INCIDENTS ARE COMMON IN INDIA
Preliminary investigations also revealed that the gang leader had set up a rogue police team in Patna, the capital city of Bihar, to offer jobs to police and other departments in exchange for money.
The gang is also allegedly extorting money from government officials who are facing corruption cases in exchange for proper investigative reports.
Murmu and Julie Manjhi did not admit that they had made any wrongdoing. Gang members claimed they were victims of a scam and thought they had been given real police jobs.
The other three arrested and Bola Yadav, who is said to be the gang leader, did not comment on the allegations.
Cases of scammers posing as police officers or soldiers are common in India, where everyone in uniform is widely respected.
In June, it was reported that P. Madan Kumar, a retired police officer, dressed as an officer while driving a police jeep equipped with sirens to smuggle nearly two million rupees from unsuspecting locals in the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu.
