Ex-TMC leader arrested for running fake police station in Noida, ran similar setup in Kolkata
Former Trinamool Congress leader Bibhas Chandra Adhikari has been arrested in Noida for “running a fake police station”, media reports said.
Following the arrest, it was found that he allegedly operated a similar setup in Kolkata.
Adhikari, a former Trinamool Block President from Nalhati in Birbhum and once under the CBI and ED scanner in the teachers’ recruitment scam, was arrested along with his son and four others for allegedly running the “International Police & Crime Investigation Bureau” in Noida on Saturday night.
Police said the accused allegedly posed as government officials to extort money.
Investigations by Kolkata police revealed that Adhikari had allegedly rented two flats on CIT Road where he displayed boards reading “Investigation of Social Justice”, “Interpol” and “Police”.
He would allegedly arrive in a car with a blue beacon with four armed guards.
According to the police, he owns significant assets, including an Ayurvedic college in Suri, a B.Ed college in Krishnapur, and houses in Kolkata and Delhi.
Adhikari was removed from his Trinamool post before the 2021 elections and later formed the “Bhartiya Arya Samaj” party.
However, he was seen sharing the stage with TMC leaders in 2024 and was accused of taking money in exchange for job promises in the teachers’ recruitment scam.
