The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has intensified its investigation into a ₹100 crore ($12 million USD) extortion racket allegedly operating within the Delhi Police, centered around Inspector Subhash Yadav, who was in charge of the Dwarka District Anti-Narcotics Cell. Following his arrest, Yadav disclosed that three senior Indian Police Service (IPS) officers were involved or aware of the illicit activities of his unit. This revelation has raised significant concerns about corruption within the police force, especially since one of the implicated officers is currently on deputation with the CBI, the agency tasked with investigating the case.

The investigation was sparked by a complaint from a woman in Uttam Nagar, who alleged that Yadav's unit raided her home, planted drugs, and then demanded a bribe of ₹25 lakh ($30,000 USD) to avoid formal charges. A subsequent raid by the CBI on the Dwarka Narcotics Cell confirmed the scale of corruption, with ₹48.9 lakh ($60,000 USD) in cash found in Yadav's office. The CBI is now probing the broader implications of this racket, which appears to involve a systematic approach to extortion, targeting vulnerable individuals in the drug trade for protection money. This case highlights the urgent need for accountability and reform within the Delhi Police and its oversight agencies.
