    “The accused police personnel reached over there (the room). They told the boy that they received a PCR call that he had done something wrong with the girl. The victim was threatened that strict action would be taken against him. Later, they demanded money to sort out the matter,” the source said.

    The accused police personnel took Rs 27,000 from the victim. They also threatened the boy not to disclose the incident to anyone, else they would implicate him in a false rape case, the report noted.

    On enquiry, it was also found that both police personnel were in touch with the girl involved in the matter.

    “Later, the victim narrated the incident to his friends and made a PCR call out of fear of being implicated in a false case. The act of the accused police personnel constituted gross misconduct, indiscipline, negligence towards their duties and also diminishing the image of Delhi Police,” the report reads.
