The Delhi Police verified this and found the call to have been made by a law officer of a PSU.
No action has been taken as they are not sure under what section of IPC they could take action!
CBI also confirmed its investigation of the affair.
To help the Delhi Police I am quoting the relevant I.P.C.
”
State Of U.P. vs Ram Dhani Pande Alias DharniDhar … on 24 October, 1986
Showing the contexts in which section 419 ipc appears in the document
Besides Section 471, I.P.C, the respondent was also charged and prosecuted for the offences UnderSections419, 420, 466, 467 and 468 I.P.C. The learned Sessions Judge, however, found that the said charges had not been proved and, accordingly, acquitted him of the said charges. This government appeal is directed against the acquittal of the respondent for the aforesaid offences in respect of which he was acquitted by the lower court.
So far as the charge UnderSection419 I.P.C. was concerned, it does not refer to cheating by forgery………………The accused personated himself as the brother of the Minister (of L.S.G.D.). That Minister had nothing to do with Engineering Department to which the appointing officers belonged. By introducing himself as the brother of LS.G.D. Minister, the accused could not have cheated the said officers. Those officers regarded the forged letters of the Irrigation and Power Minister as virtual orders. As such the cheating was made possible not by personation but by forgery.
419. Punishment for cheating by personation.– Whoever cheats by personation shall be punished with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to three years, or with fine, or with both.
Reminds me of the Nagarvala case, when Nagarvala was handed over Rs, 6500000 lakhs by SBI on the call purported to have been made by the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.
The CBI officer Raghavan who was investigating the case was murdered.

Delhi Police is likely to register an FIR and make arrests based on attorney general Goolam E Vahanvati’s complaint that a woman pretending to be Congress chief Sonia Gandhisought to bully him into going on leave and suggesting a replacement.
Sources said the investigation conducted so far suggests that the woman caller, suspected to be an employee of BHEL who introduced herself to the law officer as Anita Gupta, secretary to the Congress chief, was hardly pulling off an innocent prank as she would call the AG after the hearing in the Supreme Court on the Coalgate scam.
Sonia Gandhi doesn’t have a valid degree. She was a waitress when Rajiv Gandhi met her. Her formal education is (i) Three years course in foreign languages (English & French) completed in 1964 at Istituto Santa Teresa, Turin, Italy (ii) Certificate in English from Lennox Cook School, Cambridge, U.K. completed in 1965.

Lord Subrahmanya is a Satan,-Christians
Translation of the message in the Image.
“Subrahmanya of Thiruchednur, is a Satan, let us pray for the Blind who worship” – Christian preacher.
I posted an article on how Christians pose as Brahmins in a novel reprehensible act of Religious Conversion.
Mr.Anil Gupta sent in a comment quoting the relevant Indian Penal Code Sections and Numbers.
I am furnishing the Sections of the Act for filing cases against these Christian Audacity and the feeling that they can ge away with anything under the garb of Religious Freedom and Minority Status.
The ridiculing of Hindus’Hinduism in Christian Channels also come under the ambit of the Law.
Please watch local language Christian Channels like Angel TV,Asirvatham TVin Tamil and other corresponding Channels in other Languages.

Application and Citations of this Law.
. It is brought to our notice that author is an eminent literateur in the State who has written many books and made research in Vachana Sahitya. Therefore, we think it is just and proper that if the author intends to remove the offending portions from the book, it is open to him to file a proper petition before the Government and on filing such petition, in case if Government is satisfied that offending portion is removed from the book, the Government may consider the same and permit the petitioner by lifting ban. We will place on record that the Public Prosecutor fairly stated that if author is ready to remove the offending portion, the Government has no objection to lift the ban.
46. In view of the considered finding mentioned above, no ground is made out by the petitioner to hold that the notification dated 26-9-1997 under Section 95 of the Act confiscating and proscribing the book “DHARMA KARANA” by the State Government is not just and proper.”
On January 21 I posted a blog based on a News item from Zee News that a Punjab Girl was gang raped,Drugged, filmed and thrown out .
Now the Police have found out that the Story was fabricated by the victim to frame her boy friend’s wife!
Moral,.Never take a woman’s complaint for granted, cross check.
Story:
A Moga woman’s story of her kidnapping from Chandigarh and dumping here after gangrape in a moving car has turned out to false.
She posed as victim to frame her boyfriend’s wife who had got her into prison on the accusation of attempted murder by poking with HIV-infected needles
She was out on bail when she made up the story.
Along with suspect Gurveer Kaur (24), the police have also arrested Rohtash Kumar, who claimed to have brought the woman to hospital in her unconscious state. Suspects Gurveer Kaur, Rohtash, Ramesh, and Sunil Kumar are charged under Sections 420 (cheating), 195 (submitting false evidence to get someone imprisoned for life), 211 (false charge with intent to injure) and 120-B (criminal conspiracy) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
The plan also involved consensual sex between Gurveer Kaur and Rohtash Kumar to make it easy to prove rape.
A year ago, Gurveer and her boyfriend, Sunil Kumar, were charged with torturing Sunil’s wife to the extent of sometimes even poking her with unsterilised needles, which gave her HIV-AIDS. The target became blind because of the repeated assault and on Friday, doctors at the Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER) in Chandigarh operated on her eyes.
In January last year, after the victim’s father took the matter to the Punjab director general of police, Gurveer and Sunil were charged with attempt to murder. In Abohar jail, they became friends with Rohtash and Ramesh and made them partners in the conspiracy.
“All four suspects, including Sunil Kumar who is in jail, now are suspects in the fake gangrape case,” inspector general of police Nirmal Singh Dhillon said here on Monday. “A hunt is on for Ramesh. Gurveer Kaur and Rohtash had consensual sex to prove rape and put her enemies behind bars.
Rape is a heinous crime that calls for a social rethink.
Rape
The following points may be borne in mind.
Procedure for lodging a Complaint.
The procedure for Complaining about rape is just as in another case.
You go to a Police Station, state the case and get a First Information Report (FIR)
As in other cases, there is jurisdictional red tape in accepting these complaints.
This has to be made Jurisdiction Free and any Police Station must accept the case.
Medical Test is now conducted, to be acceptable to the Court , is to be carried out by A Government Hospital.
This procedure must change to enable Private Hospitals as well and all these Hospitals must have the expertise and infrastructure to prepare the report.
The Forensic Report must be complete within A week from the date of FIR.
Trial
Trials are long and tedious.
To cut this short, no adjournments will be allowed in a Rape Case Trial.
The Appeal time should be restricted to not more than 15 days.
Initial Judgement must be delivered within 15 days from the Date of the FIR with Forensic Report
Punishment for the Rapists.
It is normal to clamor for Death Sentence now, as we are too upset to think .
The world is slowly doing away with death penalty .
The punishment should be Life imprisonment, with no personal visits for the Culprit.
Prevention of Rape.
I have posted on the reasons for rape in India.
The following points need elucidation.
Just as one does not jay walk in the center of the Road, one must not go about in tempting clothes.
Late night parties, Pub culture,Free outings with out some one who is related or a close friend are some points worth noting.
Freedom brings on Responsibility and an awareness of danger.
Men and women must understand the basic nature of instincts, that of Sex and unless one is guarded one’s Life will be ruined.
A note of caution.
It is not ways true that all Rape complaints are genuine.
As in Dowry cases the law may be used to settle scores.
The circumstantial evidence must be examined carefully and the back ground of the man/woman must be examined thoroughly.
We also have ‘Consensual intercourse’ which is tricky;one can have it and later call it a Rape.
This could happen in married case also.
To minimize the risk, a time frame of 72 hours must be fixed for reporting a crime.
Important of all is that you have your whole Life ahead of you and simply a moment sexual enjoyment.

“Rape is a type of sexual assault usually involving sexual intercourse, which is initiated by one or more persons against another person without that person’s consent. The act may be carried out by physical force, coercion, abuse of authority or with a person who is incapable of valid consent, such as one who is unconscious, incapacitated, or below the legal age of consent.[1][2][3][4] The term is most often defined in criminal law.[2][4].(wiki)
Indian law treats rape as a criminal offence. It falls under criminal law in India. The Indian Penal Code (IPC) defines rape as intentional, unlawful sexual intercourse with a woman, without her permission.
Indian Law On Rape.
“375. Sexual Assault: Sexual assault means –
(a) The introduction (to any extent) by a man of his penis, into the vagina
(which term shall include the labia majora), the anus or urethra or
mouth of any woman or child–
(b) the introduction to any extent by a man of an object or a part of the
body (other than the penis) into the vagina(which term shall include the
labia majora) or anus or urethra of a woman
(c) the introduction to any extent by a person of an object or a part of the
body (other than the penis) into the vagina(which term shall include the
labia majora) or anus or urethra of a child.
(d) manipulating any part of the body of a child so as to cause penetration
of the vagina (which term shall include labia majora) anus or the
urethra of the offender by any part of the child’s body;
In circumstances falling under any of the six following descriptions:
Firstly – Against the complainant’s will.
Secondly – Without the complainant’s consent.
Thirdly – With the complainant’s consent when such consent has
been obtained by putting her or any person in whom the
complainant is interested, in fear of death or hurt.
Fourthly – With the complainant’s consent, when the man knows that
he is not the husband of such complainant and that the
complainant’s consent is given because the complainant believes that the offender is another man to whom the
complainant is or believes herself to be lawfully married.
“Myth: Rape is caused by lust or uncontrollable sexual urges and the need for sexual gratification.
Fact: Rape is an act of physical violence and domination that is not motivated by sexual gratification.
Myth: Once a man gets sexually aroused, he can’t just stop.
Fact: Men do not physically need to have sex after becoming sexually excited. Moreover, they are still able to control themselves after becoming aroused.
Myth: Women often lie about rape or falsely accuse someone of rape.
Fact: Statistical studies indicate false reports make up two percent or less of the reported cases of sexual assault. This figure is approximately the same for other types of crimes. Only one out of 10 rapes are actually reported. Rapes by someone the victim knows are the least likely to be reported.
Myth: Women provoke sexual assault by their appearance. Sexual attractiveness is a primary reason why a rapist selects a victim.
Fact:Rapists do not select their victims by their appearance. They select victims who are vulnerable and accessible. Victims of sexual assault range in age groups from infants to the elderly. Sexual attractiveness is not an issue.
Myth: Sexual assault is a topic that only concerns women, and men do not have to be concerned about sexual assault.
Fact: According to recent rape crisis center statistics, men, both straight and gay, suffered 10 percent of the sexual assaults reported in the United States last year. In addition, men have wives, friends, sisters, mothers and daughters who may someday need assistance in coping with sexual assault. Rape is a concern for everyone.
Myth: If a woman really did not want to be raped, she could fight off her attacker.
Fact: Even if the rapist is not carrying a weapon, the element of surprise, shock and fear or the threat of harm can overpower a survivor.”
