DK Panda, a former Inspector General of Police and widely known as ‘Doosri Radha,’ has filed a complaint against unknown individuals, alleging a fraud amounting to Rs 381 crore. Following his complaint, a case has been registered at Dhoomanganj Police Station in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh.
Panda, citing potential terror links, has requested that the investigation be conducted by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) or National Investigation Agency (NIA). His complaint has led to charges under Sections 351 (4) (criminal intimidation) and 318 (4) (cheating) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.
An Odisha resident and 1971 batch IPS officer Debendra Kishore Panda claims to have seen Lord Krishna in a dream, which he says transformed his life and led him to accept the persona of the “second Radha.”
Panda would wear a saree and ‘sindoor’ and took voluntary retirement from service in November 2005.
In his complaint dated October 25, Panda said, “Today at 3.25 pm, one man who gave his name as Arav Sharma spoke to me on Whatsapp voice call from Nicosia, Cyprus and threatened me in abusive language. He said earlier that he belongs to Rajasthan. He works in CySEC, Cyprus and has jurisdiction all over the European Union. I have never met him.”
He further explained that Sharma initially connected with him through Rahul Gupta from the finance department of the Fimnix Group in London.
Panda detailed that he had been engaged in online trading with Finnixgroup.com in USD, supported by Vineet Goel and had made a profit. However, when he attempted to transfer these profits to his bank accounts in Prayagraj, the funds were not credited. Instead, he was asked to pay various fees, including tax, conversion, liquidity, and transaction fees.
“Due to some problem in Finninxgroup, Arav Sharma of CySEC came into the picture. He recovered my entire profit money of about Rs 381 crore,” Panda noted in his complaint.
Panda stated that Sharma later demanded Rs 8 lakh from him, but he refused, believing it to be unethical. Sharma allegedly became hostile and abusive, warning that he would use Panda’s personal documents, including his passport, Aadhaar card, and PAN, for terror funding purposes to frame him and inflict maximum harm.
“I asked him to give his official photo ID card, Aadhaar card, bank details and the likes but he did not give them. I have some doubt about his identity and official status. At 4:26 pm, a man called Deepak talked to me from his phone. He said, he is speaking from Nicosia, Cyprus and he is assistant to Arav Sharma,” he added.
Deepak advised Panda to accept Sharma’s demands, warning that otherwise, his money would be diverted to terror funding, causing severe repercussions.
“This clearly shows that Arav Sharma has links with terror groups. Deepak also has knowledge about it. It will be better if the investigation is handed over to the CBI or NIA because the issue of terror links has come before us,” Panda stated in his complaint, urging the police to register an FIR and thoroughly investigate the case.
