Two police personnel, allegedly posing as income tax officials, were arrested by the Delhi Police Special Cell after they attempted to raid a businessman's house in Preet Vihar area of the national capital, police said on Friday.

The Delhi Police received a complaint on Thursday about the incident, where two police personnel pretending to be income tax officers visited the house of a businessman living in Preet Vihar.

The alleged impersonators asked for documents and mobile phones and demanded a hefty bribe from the businessman. The family grew suspicious and confronted the impersonators, which led them to flee from the scene, police said.

Upon investigation, it was revealed that the alleged impersonators were police personnel - one a head constable in the Preet Vihar police station and the other a head constable in the traffic police. The investigation of the case by the Delhi Police Special Cell is underway. (ANI)
