Mumbai, March 15: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has apprehended Harpal Singh Ahuja, a declared fugitive, in connection with a 24-year-old bank fraud case. Ahuja has been wanted since the case was registered on April 27, 2001.
Following the investigation, a chargesheet was filed against Ahuja and others on March 19, 2003. As the main conspirator, Ahuja went into hiding during the trial in 2014.
On August 2, 2014, a special court in Ghaziabad declared him a ‘declared offender.’ Subsequently, the court issued an open-ended arrest warrant against him on August 1, 2017.
In a press release issued on Sunday, the CBI stated that while the trial against other accused has concluded, Ahuja’s case remains pending, necessitating his presence in court.
To evade arrest for 11 years, Ahuja frequently changed locations between Mumbai and Faridabad. After extensive efforts, he was located and arrested in the Kalyan area of Mumbai on March 12.
The arrested individual has been presented before a special judge at the CBI court in Ghaziabad, where he has been remanded to judicial custody.
