ROLE OF SUREKHA RANI : During investigation, accused Surekha Rani, wife of kingpin Rajkumar @ Raju Meena and a practicing advocate, was found to be in possession of assets allegedly acquired from proceeds of organized crime. Evidence collected during investigation indicated that she acted as a beneficiary and repository of assets generated by the organized crime syndicate. Several assets were allegedly acquired and held in her name from funds generated through criminal activities.
Consequently, sufficient grounds emerged for her arrest under provisions of MCOCA relating to possession of movable and immovable property on behalf of members of an organized crime syndicate which cannot be satisfactorily accounted for.
MODUS OPERANDI OF THE SYNDICATE : Investigation revealed that the accused persons targeted police personnel and other public servants by secretly recording videos, using hidden cameras and mobile phones, creating edited and misleading content, and subsequently threatening victims with departmental complaints, social media exposure and false allegations.
The syndicate allegedly exploited fear of disciplinary action and public embarrassment to extort money from victims under the guise of “settlements”. Evidence collected during investigation indicates that the criminal activities were not isolated incidents but formed part of a continuing organized criminal enterprise aimed at generating unlawful pecuniary gain.
Further investigation also exposed the operation of an illegal “sticker/marka” network allegedly run by syndicate members; wherein commercial vehicle operators were induced to make regular payments in return for protection from enforcement action.
FINANCIAL INVESTIGATION/WITNESSES : A detailed financial investigation conducted by Crime Branch uncovered a substantial network of movable and immovable assets allegedly created from proceeds of crime.
Investigation has revealed that the syndicate accumulated unaccounted assets and crime proceeds valued (market) at more than ₹10 crore, including residential and commercial properties, bank deposits, vehicles and other assets acquired through illicit means. Extensive scrutiny of bank accounts, property transactions, income records and financial documents revealed a glaring mismatch between the lawful income declared by the accused and the assets found in their possession or under their control. Several properties were allegedly acquired in the names of family members and associates to conceal the origin of criminal proceeds.
Several witnesses have provided detailed accounts regarding the functioning of the syndicate. Their statements describe a pattern of intimidation, extortion demands and coercive tactics allegedly employed by the accused persons. Witness statements further indicate that members of the syndicate routinely recorded videos of police personnel and other individuals and used such material as leverage to demand money and exert unlawful pressure.
The investigation also identified victims and witnesses who corroborated the syndicate’s extortion activities, illegal collection mechanisms and financial transactions linked to proceeds of crime.
The filing of this charge-sheet marks a significant step in dismantling a criminal syndicate that allegedly operated through fear, coercion and systematic extortion. Crime Branch remains committed to identifying additional assets, tracing proceeds of crime, investigating the role of other associates and ensuring that all persons involved in organized criminal activities are brought to justice, said Mr. Sanjeev Kumar Yadav, IPS, DCP, Crime Branch, Delhi
