Fake IPS Officer Raids Aligarh Clinic, Steals ₹10 Lakh and Jewellery After Holding Owner’s Father Hostage

Posed as Senior Officer, Threatened False Case and Encounter, Police Form Special Teams to Investigate
Indian Masterminds Stories

Aligarh, UP: In a shocking case of impersonation and fraud, a man pretending to be an IPS officer entered a private clinic in the Jalalpur area of Aligarh and looted cash and jewellery worth around ₹10 lakh. The accused took the clinic owner’s elderly father hostage and used threats of police action, false FIRs, and even “encounter killing” to extort the valuables.

Owner Out of Town, Father Held Hostage

Dr. Sachin, the owner of Sachdev Clinic in Jalalpur and a resident of Prince Nagar, had gone to Delhi on September 6. In his absence, his father Yogendra Prasad was attending to the clinic. Around 5:30 p.m., a young man arrived in a car, claimed to be an IPS officer, and flashed an ID card.

He instructed a female staff member to sit at the clinic gate and not allow any patients inside. Gaining Yogendra Prasad’s trust initially, the man then lured him to a room behind the clinic, where the situation took a sinister turn.

Threats of Encounter and False Charges

Once inside, the imposter started threatening Yogendra Prasad. He accused the clinic of “illegal earnings” and said that police were waiting outside, ready to raid. He gave an ultimatum — hand over all valuables or face immediate police action, including filing of false cases and even a fake police “encounter”.

Fearing for his son’s life and family reputation, Yogendra handed over cash and jewellery kept in a cupboard — estimated to be worth nearly ₹10 lakh.

Warning Against Complaints

Before fleeing the clinic, the accused warned Yogendra that if any complaint was filed, his son (Dr. Sachin) would be eliminated in an encounter or sent to jail in a fabricated case. Terrified and shocked, Yogendra returned home and informed his son about the incident upon his return.

Police Investigation and Other Clinics Targeted

The next day, the father-son duo approached the police and submitted a formal complaint. Preliminary investigation revealed that the same accused had attempted similar frauds at four or five other clinics in the city but failed in those attempts.

Police collected CCTV footage from the area which showed the accused arriving, entering the clinic, and leaving with the stolen items.

ASP Mayank Pathak (2022 batch) stated that a case has been filed under various sections, including fraud and impersonation. “Three police teams have been formed and multiple locations are being raided,” he confirmed. “We are treating the matter very seriously.”

Ongoing Search for the Accused

The police are yet to identify the accused, but CCTV visuals and eyewitness accounts are helping narrow down suspects. Forensic analysis of the fake ID card and vehicle used is also underway.

Authorities suspect the accused may be part of a larger fraud racket targeting medical professionals in the area.
