Two persons, who allegedly extorted money from a person by posing as police officers, have been arrested, police said today.
The accused were identified as Hari Om Sharma (32)and Kishan Sharma (33), both residents of west Delhi, said a senior police official.
The complainant in this case told the police that on Tuesday he was approached by two women to clean a drain near their residence at west Delhi's Shahpura locality.
When he reached there, the women allegedly bolted the door from inside and started disrobing herself trying to get intimate.
Meanwhile, two persons, who claimed to be policemen came to the women's residence and allegedly took away Rs 1500 from Abbu, threatening to get him arrested for his act.
The next day, Abbu approached the police station and reported the matter. A thorough search was conducted and the alleged imposters were tracked down yesterday.
Fake identity cards were also recovered from their possession, police said.
However, the police haven't yet been able to track the women allegedly involved in the incident.
The accused have been booked for cheating, extortion, forgery and hatching a criminal conspiracy under relevant sections of IPC, police added.
