State vs Nirmala Sitharaman — Electoral Bonds extortion allegation

A Mumbai judge, currently under suspension, was named in an FIR registered in November 2025 after the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) arrested a clerk-cum-typist. The case involves allegations of soliciting money. A chargesheet will be filed only after sanction is received.

A CBI FIR registered following a complaint from the Supreme Court Registry targeting an organized digital arrest scam network operating across 16 Indian states including Rajasthan. Fraudsters used fake domains to convince victims they were under investigation and extorted money under the guise of 'digital arrest'.

The Central Bureau of Investigation has sought to close a case registered against former Mumbai Police Commissioner Param Bir Singh and others for alleged extortion, citing lack of substantial evidence. Singh, who was declared absconding by a court, appeared before the Mumbai Police Crime Branch to record a statement in the Goregaon extortion case.
