Man held for blackmailing doc, claims he is national shooter

Police said that on January 28, a doctor in East Delhi was allegedly contacted by Rahul. According to police, Rahul, who knew the doctor through an acquaintance, allegedly told him to meet him at his rented accommodation in Masjid Moth, where he claimed to have arranged a meeting with a few persons from the medical profession. When the doctor reached the address, he was allegedly stripped and assaulted by the three accused, police said.

Later, police said, the accused allegedly made an obscene video of the doctor with a woman and threatened to leak it if he informed police. The accused allegedly took away two of his smartphones and debit cards, with which they withdrew more than Rs 20,000.

“The complainant managed to flee when the accused had taken him outside… When he raised an alarm, the accused fled. After learning that the doctor had filed a case, they vacated the flat at Masjid Moth,” R S Yadav, Additional Commissioner of Police (Crime), said.

Police said Sandeep and Rahul knew each other since 2009. Whenever Sandeep visited Delhi, he would stay at Rahul’s house. Rahul had no permanent source of income, police said.

During interrogation, Sandeep claimed he was a national-level shooter and was employed with the J&K Police as a head constable in 2010. He claimed he left the job after 10 months. Police said he claimed to have represented the J&K Police in 10-metres and 25-metres shooting category.

He also claimed to have represented India in shooting in Singapore in 2010 and 2011, and had won gold at the national level in 10-metre air pistol, police said.
Police are verifying his claims. At present, he is working as an office administrator with a private firm in Ahmedabad.

He was on medical leave when he was arrested.

Police said Siddharth had earlier been arrested by Hauz Khas police for allegedly trafficking a minor girl in Haryana. The accused allegedly sold the girl for Rs 80,000. She was rescued by Delhi Police.
