Massive Piracy Racket: Inspector Suspended Amid Rs 2 Crore Embezzlement Scandal

An inspector in Shahdara district faces suspension following an alleged Rs 2 crore embezzlement linked to a piracy racket involving counterfeit NCERT textbooks. The investigation also implicates two sub-inspectors. Three arrests have been made, and pirated books worth Rs 2.4 crore have been recovered.

An inspector in charge of Shahdara district's Special Staff has been suspended over allegations of embezzling Rs 2 crore, connected to a large-scale piracy operation involving NCERT books, according to official sources on Thursday.

The Delhi Police stated that two sub-inspectors from the Anti-Snatching Cell and the Anti-Auto-Theft Squad are also under departmental scrutiny for reported "lapses" in their duties.

This suspension follows a raid in which law enforcement seized counterfeit NCERT textbooks, valued at over Rs 2.4 crore, nearly a month ago, pointing to serious financial misconduct during the crackdown.
