Media Presence
He operates a YouTube channel titled “Prateek Gupta: Journey of Courage and Conspiracy.”[4] Following a life-changing incident, he appeared in national media discussions and podcasts, including interviews with Deepika Narayan Bharadwaj[5] and Indian Press House[6].
The Sting Operation[7][8][9]
- The Bribe: Inspector Dhananjay Singh was arrested for allegedly demanding and accepting a bribe of ₹2 lakh. Reports indicate that the initial demand was as high as ₹50 lakh, which was later negotiated down to ₹2 lakh.
- The Motive: The bribe was allegedly taken to remove the name of Prateek Gupta, the director of the British School of Language, from an FIR. Gupta had been accused in a gang rape case registered in September 2025.
- The Arrest: The Anti-Corruption Organization (ACO) of Lucknow conducted a sting operation on October 29, 2025. Singh was caught red-handed at the Paper Mill Colony police outpost, Mahanagar Lucknow.
- Viral Footage: A video of the incident went viral, showing Singh instructing an associate of the accused to place bundles of ₹500 notes into a file, which he then set aside without touching the money directly with his hands.
Evidence Contradicting the Charges[10]
The investigation conducted by the defense appears to have uncovered several points that challenge the prosecution's narrative:
- Professional Records: Prateek was reportedly in continuous contact with his employees via his office phone throughout the day of the alleged incident.
- Geographic Inconsistency: Data suggests the victim was not present at the alleged crime scene on the date mentioned in the complaint.
- Lack of Physical Evidence: Despite the nature of the charges, police found no obscene videos or digital evidence linking Prateek to the crime.
- False Implication: The inclusion of Riaz Ahmad—whom Prateek claims to have never met—suggests the case may have been built on fabricated connections.
Allegations of Corruption
The transition from a criminal investigation to an extortion attempt is the most striking part of this account:
| Individual Involved | Action/Allegation |
| Riaz Ahmad | Reportedly paid ₹15 lakh to have his name removed from the case. |
| Inspector Dhananjay Singh | Allegedly demanded ₹50 lakh to alter the victim's statement and clear Prateek's name. |
| Prateek | Refused to pay the bribe, opting to fight the case in court, and reported the matter to the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB). |
