The son of former MCD Commissioner, Ajay Singh Yadav who was arrested on Friday evening has duped a Delhi based chartered accountant — Sunil Kansal — of Rs5 lakh after posing as an officer on special duty (OSD) of former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee. Investigation by the anti-extortion unit of Crime Branch has opened a can of worms.
He was given a Honda City car by Kansal after promising to allot him a Government flat at a knockdown price since Yadav was a retired IPS officer. His father-in-law Surjan Singh Yadav was former Home Minister in Rajasthan and he earlier worked with former Haryana Chief Minister Rao Birender Singh as his personal secretary.
Police sources said that after completing his graduation from Kirori Mal College, Delhi University in 1976, his father Jai Narayan Singh Yadav got him employed in Azad Pur Market Committee as Inspector Enforcement. But he was removed from his job after six years. “Yadav was arrested along with his driver Amit Chouhan from Sewa Nagar on Friday evening by a team led by sub-inspectors, Vinay Tyagi and Atul Tyagi under the supervision of ACP Hoshiyar Singh,” said, Ravindra Yadav, Additional Commissioner of Police (Crime). Police have impounded the Honda City fitted with a blue beacon from his possession and seized bank accounts where Rs10 lakh was deposited.
Investigation revealed he always posed as a DIG posted in Mizoram and DIG in the Intelligence Bureau (IB). “He impressed people with his personality and his fluency in English. On several occasions, he presented senior IAS officers with pricey gifts,” the officer added.
