Adesh Chauhan Extortion Incident

In February 2025, Adesh Chauhan, a Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) for BHEL Ranipur in Haridwar, became the target of an extortion scheme. The perpetrator, posing as Jay Shah—the son of India's Home Minister Amit Shah—demanded INR 5 lakhs. Chauhan, initially deceived by the similarity of the impersonator's voice to Jay Shah's, grew suspicious and alerted the authorities. The swift response led by SHO Naresh Singh Rathore resulted in the arrest of the impostor, Piyush Pant, along with two accomplices in Delhi. For further details, see The Hawk's full report.
