CBI arrests alleged absconding offender after 25 years
HE is accused of Foreign Exchange fraud of nearly Rs 67.15 lakh in 1985-89 and had been on the run ever since defeating every effort of CBI to nab him. The fraud was of using forged bills of lading in the account of his firms without any genuine trade transaction as no material was imported into India during the period 1985-89. The accused could not be traced during investigation, and trial against him was kept dormant. After sustained efforts, CBI traced the proclaimed offender at Bangalore and arrested him on 13.02.2014 from the business premises of his younger brother at Bangalore. CBI is believed to have used Facebook to track the absconder.
