How a maid pulled off a fake ED raid at elderly couple's house in Delhi's New Friends Colony

In a bizarre incident in New Friends Colony, Delhi, a maid orchestrated a fake raid impersonating officials from the Enforcement Directorate (ED) to exploit an elderly couple. After observing that the couple frequently remained alone at home, the maid devised a plan to deceive them. Posing as an ED officer, she entered their residence, creating a scene of intimidation. The couple, taken aback by the sudden 'raid', was coerced into revealing personal details and valuables. Fortunately, the couple's neighbor, suspicious of the situation, intervened and contacted the police, leading to the swift apprehension of the maid. This incident has raised concerns regarding the vulnerability of senior citizens living alone and the need for increased awareness about such scams. Authorities are urging citizens to be vigilant and report any suspicious activities, especially targeting the elderly, who may not be fully aware of such fraudulent tactics. This case highlights the pressing issue of safety for senior citizens in urban areas, emphasizing the importance of community vigilance and support.
