On Thursday, a West Bengal Police team arrested a lawyer, Sameer Dubey, from Kishanganj on charges of duping 3 businessmen of Siliguri of Rs 91 lakh by posing as a Judicial Officer.
Acting on a complaint lodged with the Bhakti Nagar police station in Siliguri on June 28 this year, a West Bengal police team headed by a special branch officer, Vishwajeet Ghosh, reached Kishanganj & sought the cooperation of the local police in arresting Dubey.
Kishanganj SP Kumar Ashish constituted a special team led by SDPO (sadar) Anwar Javed Ansari. Subsequently, a joint team of the Bengal & Kishanganj police took Dubey into custody from outside the Court premises.
Ansari said the lawyer was charged with extorting money from Mukesh Singhal, Bimal Singhal and Uttam Agarwal on the pretext of helping them in the auction of luxury vehicles seized earlier by the police & officials of prohibition & excise department.
Dubey, according to the Police complaint, had introduced himself as a judicial officer-cum-auction officer posted in Kishanganj. “He was handed over to the visiting police team after completion of legal formalities in Kishanganj,” Ansari told this newspaper. Dubey, however, feigned ignorance about any complaint lodged against him in West Bengal.
