Overview
- Acting on a tip-off, the Anti-Extortion and Kidnapping Cell intercepted a Toyota Innova in Vasant Vihar on January 15 around 3:10 pm and detained a 45-year-old suspect.
- The woman initially claimed embassy affiliation but, during interrogation, admitted using fake diplomatic-style number plates to enter restricted areas.
- Investigators seized the SUV, multiple forged embassy-style plates — including one reported as bearing the number ‘144 CD 54’ — a mobile phone, and sale documents.
- Police say she stated she bought the Innova from a foreign embassy in November 2024 without transferring registration, after which the mission filed a complaint in Chanakyapuri.
- A case under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita has been registered, her digital data is under forensic review, and she has moved from police remand to judicial custody as the probe continues.
