Criticised for Filing a Fake Robbery Complaint

In 2021, Agrawal shared a Facebook post alleging that he had been robbed of Rs 5,000 by a few attackers near Noida Extension. According to his Facebook account, while driving his Safari car, he was intercepted by a group of five individuals on motorcycles close to a police booth in Bisrakh, Noida Extension, in the Gautam Buddha Nagar. Agrawal claimed that one of the goons brandished a firearm and demanded his valuables after he pulled down the window of his car. Despite the alleged robbery, Agrawal did not file a formal complaint or an FIR. Nevertheless, the Noida Police initiated an investigation into the incident based on Agrawal’s social media post. However, their inquiries quickly dispelled Atul Agrawal’s fabricated narrative as they confirmed that he had actually visited an OYO establishment during the reported time, making it impossible for a robbery to have taken place. A team of five COG officers probed the case. While addressing the media, the Noida Police said,

We investigated all electronic and CCTV evidence pertaining to the alleged incident. The scribe had alleged the robbery had taken place around 1 am near Hindon Pul after which he went home. It was found through CCTV footage that he had reached an Oyo hotel room in Sector 121 after 1 am where he spent the night. The distance between the hotel room and his house indicate that it was not possible that the incident occurred.тАЭ

Based on digital evidence collected by the Noida Police, it was confirmed that Agrawal made a payment for an OYO room using his bank account, and the presence of Agrawal in the hotel has been verified through CCTV footage. The Noida Police then said,

Taking all these pieces of evidence into consideration, it is proved that there has been no robbery incident with Atul Agrawal and this fake case was spread on social media by him due to his personal family reasons.тАЭ

During the police investigation, it was discovered that Agrawal had visited the residence of a female friend for dinner on June 19 around 7 pm. According to Agrawal’s colleague, he left the friend’s house at approximately 10:40 pm after receiving a call from his wife, Chitra. [5]The Indian Express
