In a daring heist straight out of a Bollywood script, a Delhi University scholar and caterer was robbed in his own home by three imposters posing as CBI officers. The shocking incident took place in Wazirabad, when Israt Jamili and his family were duped and looted of cash and jewellery worth lakhs. The culprits, including a distant relative of the victim, were inspired by the film Raid and were arrested days later from Uttarakhand.

Israt Jamili, a catering professional with an MPhil degree from Delhi University, was at home with his family when the incident occurred. Around 7:30 pm, three individuals, a woman and two men dressed in white shirts, black trousers, and wearing face masks, knocked on his door, claiming to be CBI officers from the Okhla division.

The woman stated that there was an FIR and a search warrant against them. However, when Israt requested to see the documents, the trio began to abuse him. One of the men, identifying himself as Suni Dubey, forced Israt, his wife, and their three children to stand in a corner while the other two searched the house for ‘evidence’.

During the search, they broke into an old steel cupboard, stealing gold and silver jewellery belonging to Israt’s wife and Rs 3 lakh in cash. When Israt asked for a receipt and the procedure to reclaim the jewellery, the trio signed with fake names in his daughter’s notebook, claiming the items were being taken as evidence. They fled soon after.

Israt grew suspicious, questioning why the supposed CBI officers wore masks and lacked identification or a copy of the FIR. He immediately contacted the police.

Police raided the homes of Shaina and Keshav but found them empty. Their phone locations revealed they were frequently changing spots across Uttarakhand.

On Friday evening, the police apprehended Keshav and Shaina in Mussoorie, and their third accomplice, Vivek Singh, was arrested in Haridwar.

According to the police, Shaina confessed to the crime, explaining that Israt was her distant relative, and she had learned through family gossip about the cash in his house. She orchestrated the theft and involved her friend Keshav, who owns a food supplement shop in Haridwar. Keshav then enlisted Vivek, who studies at Delhi University’s School of Open Learning.

Police said that Shaina got the idea for the heist after watching the Bollywood film ‘Raid’. They staged a fake CBI raid and stole jewellery and cash worth lakhs. However, with the police’s prompt action and CCTV footage, all three were soon caught.

On Israt’s complaint, the police registered an FIR under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) sections 307 (preparation of violence for theft), 318 (cheating), 319 (cheating by concealing identity), and 334 (dishonestly stealing goods by breaking the lock).

A police team, led by SHO Manoj Verma, scanned 200 CCTV footages of the area. The investigation revealed that the bike seen in the footage was registered to Shaina, a resident of Karawal Nagar, and was driven by Keshav Prasad of Shanti Nagar.
