Guwahati, Sept 02: The Assam police’ CID have detained seven police personnel at its head office at Ulubari in Guwahati, Assam over an alleged extortion-related case.

The CID has registered a case against seven on-duty policemen, including the deputy superintendent of police (DSP) of Bajali district on the charges of extortion and murder threats to a businessman.

All of them have been detained and are facing interrogation by the CID.

Assam police Director General (DG) Gyanendra Pratap Singh on Friday shared the information through X (formerly Twitter) in which he wrote: “Assam Police headquarters received a complaint on the first week of August that some cops are demanding money and the Vigilance Anti-corruption department tried to catch these police officials by setting traps.”

The accused have been booked under section 120B (criminal conspiracy), 341 (wrongful restraint), 342 (wrongful confinement), 323 (voluntarily causing hurt), 448 (house trespass), 294 (obscene acts and songs), 379 (theft), 387 (extortion), 427 (mischief causing damage), 506 (criminal intimidation), and 307 (attempt to murder) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).

The accused cops allegedly demanded Rs. 5 crore from a businessman last month and threatened to arrest and kill him in custody if he didn’t pay the money.

The businessman reportedly paid them a cheque of Rs. 2 crores, and Rs. 10 lakh in cash. Police have recovered several documents and proof against the accused officials.

The police officials brought to the CID office are DSP (HQ) Puskal Gogoi, SI Anup Jyoti Patiri (Officer-in-Charge, Patacharkuchi Police Station), SI Debajit Giri, ASI Sasanka Das and Constable Injamamul Hassan along with home guards Deepjoy Roy and Nabir Ahmed.
