What It Means For You
- If you follow police accountability, a special CBI court asking the Chhattisgarh DGP and CBI for reports means the complaint is now on a formal judicial track.
- Cyber fraud complainants can note the case is tied to an Ambikapur probe in which a victim allegedly lost about Rs 20.15 lakh to trading apps.
- Anyone watching IPS training and first postings can see how a City Superintendent in Surguja is named while still a 2022-batch trainee.
What's Happening
- Akash Kumar of Haryana filed a complaint naming Rahul Bansal, ASI Praveen Kumar Rathore and Constable Anshul Sharma over an alleged Rs 1 crore bribe.
- The complaint says the amount moved through hawala in two Rs 50 lakh instalments in May 2026 and cites WhatsApp chats and call recordings.
- A special CBI court at Delhi's Rouse Avenue has sought action taken reports from the Chhattisgarh DGP and the CBI Director.
Why Cyber Probes Draw Bribe Complaints
- Bansal joined the IPS on 29 August 2022 after working as an Income Tax Inspector and clearing UPSC CSE 2021 with rank 377.
- The underlying case at Cyber Range Police Station, Ambikapur, involved apps named Money Trade 365 and Sky Trade and deposits into 17 to 18 bank accounts.
- Courts often seek action taken reports first so state police and CBI must say on affidavit what, if anything, has been investigated since the complaint arrived.
