   their will at any point, tied, locked in, held at gunpoint or taken away; it is NOT the
   same as the 'Kidnapping' scenario, which means taken away and held. See README, Definitions.)

AI SUMMARY  [revised on review, verified against the sources in this file. Live DB still holds the shorter bulk-import summary — apply this to it.]

  **Attack Method:** On 14 July 2025 around 4 p.m., as the pair parked at a mall near Manji Ka Hatha, constable Jagmal (in uniform) and three or four others in plain clothes intimidated them, forced Dilip from the driver's seat, took over the car, and drove them to the Mata Ka Than Police Station.
  
  **Violence Used:** Detention — the pair were driven to a police station and held until about 8:30 p.m.; they intimidated the pair, forced them to sign documents, and threatened to implicate them in false criminal charges.
  
  **Crypto Demanded/Stolen:** They extorted about ₹50,000 from each of the two (₹1 lakh in cash), then used Dilip's wife's ATM card to have Ramesh withdraw a further ₹1 lakh — ₹2 lakh in cash in all — and used Dilip's phone to transfer cryptocurrency (USDT, about ₹8.6 lakh) to an associate.

Jodhpur: Four police constables from a Jodhpur police station in Rajasthan were arrested on Thursday morning for allegedly abducting and unlawfully detaining two people, and extorting ₹2 lakh in cash along with cryptocurrency.

The four constables — Narsingh Ram, Rakesh Poonia, Laduram, and Jagmal Ram — who were posted at the Mata Ka Than Police Station in Jodhpur, were suspended following a departmental inquiry.
A complaint was filed by Dilip Gaur, a resident of Ramdev Nagar, deputy commissioner of police (East) Alok Srivastava said.
According to the complaint, Gaur had gone shopping with a friend, Ramesh Sharma, a resident of Subhash Chowk, to a mall near Manji Ka Hatha on July 14 around 4 pm. “While parking their car, constable Jagmal — dressed in uniform — along with three or four other policemen in plain clothes, allegedly approached them and began intimidating the duo. The policemen forcibly removed Dilip from the driver’s seat, and constable Jagmal sat at the wheel while the others got into the car,” an officer said.
Gaur said that the policemen allegedly extorted ₹50,000 from each of them and threatened to falsely implicate them if they failed to arrange more money.
The accused then took Gaur and Sharma to Mata Ka Than Police Station, where constable Rakesh was present. They allegedly continued intimidating the duo and forcefully obtained banking details of them and their family members. “The officers reportedly took Dilip’s wife’s ATM card and instructed Ramesh to withdraw ₹1 lakh, which they reportedly divided among themselves. Dilip’s phone was reportedly used to transfer cryptocurrency to an associate of the policemen. The victims were also forced to sign some documents and threatened with false criminal charges,” the officer said, adding they were released around 8.30 pm.
Srivastava said another police officer, currently posted elsewhere, is a suspect in the case too. “His identity has not been disclosed as he is yet to be arrested,” he said.
A case was registered at the Mahamandir Police Station under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). “All the suspended policemen were attached to the Police Lines,” he added.

Jodhpur Police Officers Arrested: Extortion, Kidnapping, and Cryptocurrency Theft | Subkuz

The victim, Dilip Gaud, a resident of Banar Road, Jodhpur, stated that on July 14, he went to a showroom in Pawta with his friend Ramesh Sharma for shopping. During parking, four uniformed policemen in a white car stopped him. According to Dilip, Constable Jagmal forcibly entered his car and, under the pretext of questioning, took him out and seized the vehicle.

After this, Dilip was forcibly taken to Mata ka Than police station. There, Dilip alleges that all four policemen threatened him and extorted ₹1 lakh in cash and withdrew ₹1 lakh from his wife's ATM. In addition, approximately ₹8.6 lakh worth of USDT cryptocurrency was also forcibly transferred from Dilip. Not only this, but his iPhone was also confiscated for some time.

Dilip further alleged that another constable, Rakesh, present at the police station, threatened to frame him in a false case and mentally harassed him. According to Dilip, no valid legal procedure was followed during the entire episode. Neither was he shown any arrest notice nor was he informed of any written action. In this way, this case has become an example of not only corruption but also disregard for legal procedure.

The victim, Dilip Gaud, has filed a written complaint at the Police Commissioner's office, in which he has demanded the return of the cash, ATM amount, and cryptocurrency recovered from him, along with confirmation of the suspension of the guilty policemen. Also, a b criminal action has been appealed against them.

This case has now become a major challenge for the state government and the police administration. Because Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma himself is the Home Minister of the state and the police system of the entire state is running under the supervision of DGP Rajiv Sharma. In such a situation, this incident has raised serious questions on the accountability and transparency of the entire system.

When those who protect the law start breaking the law, from whom will the general public expect justice? This case is not just an incident related to one person, but it is a test of the credibility and sensitivity of the entire administrative structure.

The investigation is ongoing, and now it remains to be seen how transparently and seriously the police department proceeds in this matter.
