कल्पना कीजिए… सुबह-सुबह एक व्यापारी अपनी मोटरसाइकिल पर ऑफिस जा रहा है। रास्ते में एक कार रुक जाती है, तीन लोग उतरते हैं और खुद को पुलिस वाला बताते हैं। व्यापारी को लगता है कि शायद कोई गलतफहमी हुई है, मगर वो तो पुलिस वाले हैं! मगर क्या हुआ जब उन्हीं पुलिस वालों ने उसे अगवा कर लिया, ₹5.26 लाख लूट लिया और उसे निर्जन जगह पर छोड़ दिया? हैरान कर देने वाली बात ये है कि ये गिरोह सिर्फ व्यापारियों को निशाना बनाता था, पुलिस की वर्दी पहनता था और फर्जी वीडियो कॉल से धमकाता था। सच तो ये है कि ये गिरोह पुलिस वालों का भेष बदलकर ठगी करने वाले ‘पseudo-police’ थे, जिन्होंने एक व्यापारी को सिर्फ इसलिए लूट लिया क्योंकि उन्हें लगा कि वो किसी केस में फंसा हुआ है। मगर असली सच इससे भी भयानक है—ये गिरोह सिर्फ एक नहीं, पूरे 12 मामलों में शामिल था और इनके पास पुलिस की वर्दी, हथियार, फर्जी दस्तावेज सब कुछ था। जानिए कैसे ये गिरोह पुलिस बनकर लोगों को ठग रहा था और क्या है इनके पीछे की सच्चाई।
ye kya hai? ek aisa ‘pseudo-police’ gang jo police ki wardi pehan kar, fake ID card dikhakar, aur fake video call se dhamkakar logon ko lout raha tha. Cyberabad police ne in paanchon ko pakad liya hai, jo ek vyapari ko 5.26 lakh rupee loutne ke baad usko beech raaste mein chhod diya tha. Police ke hisaab se ye gang 12 se zyada cases mein shamil tha, jinmein Telangana, Andhra Pradesh aur Jharkhand bhi shamil hain. Nagaraju Raghu Varma, jo is gang ka leader maana ja raha hai, do baar Preventive Detention Act ke tahat pakda gaya tha aur Poduru police station ka rowdy-sheeter bhi hai. Police ne inke paas se fake police uniforms, hathyiar, forged documents, aur fake vehicle registration plates bhi zapt ki hain. Sabse badi baat ye hai ki ye gang sirf vyaparion ko hi target kar raha tha, kyunki unke paas zyada paise hote hain. Unhone vyapari ko police ki tarah hi dhamkaya, fake video call se usko ye samjhaya ki uske khilaf Haryana mein case hai, aur usse paise transfer karne ko kaha. Jab vyapari ne paise de diye, toh unhone usko maar-pitai ki, SIM card nikal liya, aur usko ek beech jungle mein chhod diya. Police ke hisaab se ye gang sirf ek hi case nahi, balki 12 se zyada cases mein shamil hai, jinmein theft, property offences, dacoity aur cyber crimes bhi shamil hain. Police ne inke paas se mobile phones, laptops, air pistol, country-made pistol, police uniforms, fake identity cards, rank badges, handcuffs, batons, forged police stamps, name plates, fake government documents, court seals, fake vehicle registration plates, SIM cards aur vehicles bhi zapt ki hain. Police abhi bhi do aise accused ko dhund rahi hain jo abhi tak farrar hain. Police ka kahna hai ki ye gang sirf Cyberabad mein hi nahi, balki poore desh mein active tha aur iske aur bhi victims ho sakte hain. Police ne in sabhi accused ko judicial custody mein bhej diya hai aur investigation jari hai.
Aise gangs ka uday kya hai? ye toh sirf ek example hai. India mein aise ‘pseudo-police’ gangs ka safar kab se shuru hua? 2010 ke aas-paas se hi aise cases mein izafa hona shuru ho gaya tha. 2015 mein Maharashtra mein ek aisa hi gang pakda gaya tha, jinhone 20 se zyada logon ko louta tha. 2018 mein Delhi mein ek aur gang pakda gaya, jinhone police ki wardi pehan kar logon ko dhamkaya tha. 2020 mein Uttar Pradesh mein ek gang pakda gaya, jinhone fake police calls se logon ko louta tha. 2022 mein Tamil Nadu mein ek gang pakda gaya, jinhone fake police uniforms aur fake ID cards ka istemal kiya tha. 2024 mein Karnataka mein ek gang pakda gaya, jinhone fake video calls se logon ko dhamkaya tha. Yeh sab dekhkar lagta hai ki ye trend poore desh mein fail raha hai. Police experts ka kehna hai ki iske peeche ka sabse bada reason hai digital payments ka istemal aur logon ki police par bharosa. Log jab police ki wardi dekhte hain, toh unhe lagta hai ki ye sach mein police hi hain. Iske alawa, fake documents aur fake video calls ne bhi isko aur bhi asaan bana diya hai. Police experts ka kehna hai ki isko rokne ke liye sirf police ki taraf se hi nahi, balki logon ko bhi jagaruk hona hoga. Logon ko chahiye ki kisi bhi ajeeb situation mein police ki wardi dekhkar bharosa na karein, balki police ki official website ya helpline number se verify karein. Police ka kehna hai ki aise gangs ko pakadne ke liye unke support networks ko bhi todna hoga. Aise gangs ke paas poore desh mein support networks hote hain, jinke zariye wo targets ko identify karte hain aur operations ko coordinate karte hain.
