Delhi Sub-Inspector Goes On The Run With Rs 2 Crore, Travels To Goa, Manali With Girlfriend
Last Updated: A sub-inspector with the Delhi Police got the money released from the court by submitting fake documents and eloped with his girlfriend. Both of them are married. A sub-inspector with the Delhi Police, who helped solve several cyber fraud cases, allegedly stole Rs 2 crore and fled with his sub-inspector girlfriend. He is believed to have used the stolen money to travel to prominent tourist hubs like Goa, Manali and Jammu and Kashmir. According to a report by NDTV, the sub-inspector, identified as Ankur Malik, was posted at Cyber Thana, North-East district. He secured the release of the stolen money by obtaining a court order using fake complainants' names, then redirected the funds to bank accounts belonging to his acquaintances. The 2021 batch officer went on a seven-day medical leave and never returned. At the same time, sub-inspector Neha Punia of the same batch, posted at the GTB Enclave police station, also went missing. After a missing report was filed, an ensuing investigation revealed that Malik had siphoned off crores from cyber-fraud recoveries and had an affair with Punia. Both Malik and Punia are married – Malik's wife resides in Baraut, Uttar Pradesh, while Punia's husband lives in Delhi's Rohini. Malik and Punia became friends in 2021 and allegedly planned the fraud around that time, as per the investigation. The police traced down the missing sub-inspectors through technical surveillance and intelligence inputs. The duo were tracked and arrested in Indore after four months of search, where it was revealed that they wanted to start a new life under fake identities. Gold worth Rs 1 crore, 11 mobile phones, a laptop, three ATM cards and other items were recovered from their possession. Three others, identified as Mohammad Ilyas, Aafi alias Monu and Shadab, whose accounts were used by the accused to transfer funds were also taken into custody. Police said Malik knew no one would claim the money, so he got it released from the court by submitting fake documents and fled, NDTV reported. He vacationed with his girlfriend in Goa, Manali and other places. After reaching Indore, he bought gold in exchange for the cash to make it harder for authorities to track them, police said. They had intended to get fake IDs to start a new life in Madhya Pradesh. They are currently under interrogation. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's. Please keep discussions respectful and constructive.
