Gurugram Police have detained Dr. Krishan Kumar, a suspended doctor, for allegedly cheating and attempting to extort money from a property dealer by threatening him with a false rape case.
Police said Kumar posed as a senior official from the health department and extracted approximately Rs 6 lakh from the victim, Rahul Yadav. As part of the scheme, Kumar allegedly conspired with his wife to file fabricated rape charges against Yadav and demanded an additional Rs 16 lakh to withdraw the accusation.
Authorities are investigating the case under provisions related to cheating, extortion, and criminal intimidation. Police have warned citizens to verify official credentials before making any payments to individuals claiming government authority.
