A few days before the Republic Day, a woman has been arrested by the Delhi Police Crime Branch for using a fake copy of the embassy number plate used for safe movement in high-security and diplomatic areas in the national capital. This arrest took place on January 15, 2026. This incident is being considered very serious from the point of view of national security before Republic Day.
According to police officials, this action was taken on the basis of a secret input received by the Anti-Extortion and Kidnapping Cell (AEKC) of the Crime Branch. It was reported in the information that a woman is continuously visiting various foreign embassies in an Innova car, which allegedly has the number plate of the foreign embassy.
Following the input, a special team was formed and deployed in Vasant Vihar area. During investigation, the suspected Innova was found parked in B-Block, Street B-5 of Vasant Vihar. Around 3:10 pm, a woman around 45 years old came near the car, opened the vehicle with the key and sat on the driving seat. The police team stopped him before he could start the vehicle.
During interrogation, the woman claimed that the car was a diplomatic vehicle, but she could neither show any valid registration document nor ownership papers. After this, the woman and the vehicle were brought to the Crime Branch office located in Sunlight Colony, where during detailed interrogation, she admitted to using fake embassy number plate.
According to the police, the accused woman is a permanent resident of Assam and currently lives in Guwahati. She is a graduate and describes herself as the All India Secretary of a political party for the last four years. She also claimed that she has worked as a consultant in a foreign embassy during 2023–24 and has also been a sports guide in a university in Meghalaya. At present she is claiming to do consultancy work for foreign students.
The woman told that she had purchased this Innova car from a foreign embassy in November 2024, but did not register the vehicle in her name. After this, when a complaint was lodged by the embassy at Chanakyapuri police station, he removed the original number plate and prepared a fake diplomatic style plate with the number “144 CD 54”.
Police have also recovered two additional fake number plates from the vehicle. Investigating agencies say that the woman adopted this method to mislead government agencies, avoid police investigation and easily enter diplomatic areas.
A case has been registered against the woman under relevant sections of the Indian Code of Justice (BNS), 2023. The court has sent him to police custody for six days. His mobile phone has been seized and digital forensic examination is being conducted. According to the police, this arrest is very important from national security point of view before the Republic Day celebrations. Further investigation is ongoing.
