A fake international police station and intelligence bureau (IB) office operating in Noida has been busted, with investigations identifying former Trinamool Congress (TMC) Block Head Vibhas Chand as the mastermind.
Vibhas Chand, who earlier held the position of Block Head in Birbhum, West Bengal, allegedly fled to Noida while facing multiple investigations in West Bengal related to scams and corruption. Once in Noida, he established a bogus international law enforcement setup, including a police station and IB office, with the help of his associates.
The accused used to send fake notices to people in West Bengal under the guise of international legal action and coerce them into paying money for resolving land disputes and securing bureaucratic favors.
Vibhas Chand’s son also played an active role, using vehicles with Interpol stickers to project an image of legitimacy while extorting money.
Multiple cases have already been registered against Vibhas Chand and his son in West Bengal. Additionally, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the Enforcement Directorate (ED) are investigating him in connection with the high-profile teacher recruitment scam.
West Bengal leader of opposition and BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari has also issued a statement on the matter.
