new delhi: The Central Bureau of Investigation on Wednesday conducted raids at the premises of a Delhi Police Additional DCP for allegedly submitting forged credentials and documents for selection in the Delhi, Andaman and Nicobar Islands Police Service (DANIPS), officials said Wednesday.

The officer, identified at Sanjay Kumar Sehrawat is posted as Additional DCP-II in East Delhi and has been booked by the central agency in its FIR.

The agency's teams carried out searches at Sehrawat's room in DCP East office and residential premises in Pitampura on Wednesday after registering the case, they said.

Acting on a complaint against Sehrawat, a 2011-batch DANIPS official, the CBI alleged that he used the credentials of another person with a similar name to get selected in the service, officials

added.

Interestingly, Sehrawat was a senior probe officer in-charge of the probe against AIADMK leader TTV Dhinakaran in 2017 related to charges of hawala transactions. He was then an Assistant Commissioner of Police in the Crime Branch and spearheaded the probe which led to Dhinakaran's arrest.
