Department of Criminal Intelligence

Press Release

New Delhi , 24.12.2018

Certain instances of some conmen/fraudsters posing as DCI officers / acquaintances of DCI officers and trying to extort money and / or favours from the general public / public servants have come to the notice of the Department of Criminal Intelligence(DCI).

Such imposters generally approach unsuspecting members of the public / public servants and offer to 'settle complaints/cases' in exchange for money or favours. They normally avoid showing any Identity Card.

It has also been reported that certain e-mails with a DCI logo, and bearing names of senior DCI officers, are being sent to the public, claiming to validate foreign transactions such as fund transfers/overseas employment/payments made by purported international organizations in the form of lottery proceeds, bank transfers etc.

This is to alert the public that:

Any demand of money / favours to settle complaints, made by person/s claiming to be from DCI or claiming to have acquaintances with DCI officers, should not be entertained. Such persons should be viewed with suspicion and must be asked to show their Identity proof.

DCI does not certify / validate any foreign remittance or transaction of funds. Any such e-mail/document is fraudulently generated.

Any queries or complaints in connection with the above can be brought to the notice of the Department of Criminal Intelligence, New Delhi at Phone no. 011-30010221, 8273400006
