Noida Police have uncovered a major scam with the busting of a fake police office operating in Sector 70 under the guise of the ‘International Police and Crime Investigation Bureau.’ This illicit setup, designed to look official and intimidating, used police-like colors, logos, and formal titles to fool the public into believing it was linked to powerful ministries—and even international agencies like Interpol and the International Human Rights Commission.

Six suspects have been arrested by the Phase 3 and Central Noida police. During their night raid, authorities seized 9 mobile phones, 17 official stamps, 6 cheque books, 9 fake ID cards, a PAN and voter card, ATM cards, three types of visiting cards, ministry-recognized certificates, a CPU, multiple name boards, over Rs 42,000 cash, and a trove of other incriminating documents.

How Did the Fake Police Station Operate?

• The accused created an office modeled closely on a real police bureau, replete with boards proclaiming connections to global police and human rights organizations.

• They posed as IB officers or top-level government officials to win trust, extract donations, or extort money.

• To give an international air, they falsely claimed to have an office in the UK and ties to organizations like Interpol and Eurasia Pol.

• A professional-looking website, www.intlpcrib.in, was launched, displaying fake national and international certificates to further legitimize their scheme.

• Donations and ‘fees’ were collected from the public through this site, with the promise of resolving disputes or offering powerful contacts.

• The group kept a stock of bogus press, human rights, and bureau ID cards, plus rubber stamps of various government bodies, to facilitate their con.

Legal Action:
The six accused have been booked under multiple sections of the Indian Penal Code (204, 205, 318, 319, 336, 339, 338, 3(5)), relevant IT Act provisions (66C, 66D), and the Emblems and Names (Prevention of Improper Use) Act 150 for impersonation, cheating, and misusing government insignia.

According to Central Noida DCP Shakti Mohan Awasthi, the gang’s sophisticated operation rented office space, decorated it with fake boards, and used impressive paraphernalia to target and convince victims. By masquerading as international and government officials, they instilled fear and extracted money on the pretext of donations linked to their purported ‘official’ work.

This bust not only exposes the depth of the scam, but also serves as a warning for citizens to verify the credentials of any supposed government or international organization before making payments or sharing personal details.
