Overview
- Police arrested Rajat from Sonipat on June 25 and later detained Sapna Jain after phone-chat analysis that investigators say showed coordination between them.
- The complainant began receiving threatening calls and messages on June 14 from an international number claiming Gogi-gang ties and demanding ₹50 lakh while sending photos and location details of his shop and home.
- An FIR was filed at Laxmi Nagar police station on June 18 and the case was moved to the New Delhi Range of the Special Cell for specialised probes.
- Investigators say Rajat’s phone contained chats linking him to a US-based extortionist named Karmveer Pehalwan alias Meeta and to Sapna and her sister, and police are working to identify and arrest other overseas or local conspirators.
- Delhi Police say the plot grew from long-running domestic disputes, with Sapna alleged to have hired Rajat to extort her husband and later harm his mother, while the Gogi gang’s transnational networks are described by police as a credibility tool for extortion threats.
