CBI Arrests Fugitive in Long-Standing Bank Fraud Case

New Delhi, April 4: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has apprehended Davinder Pal Singh, a declared fugitive, in connection with an old bank fraud case in the Rajouri Garden area of Delhi.

The CBI registered this case on December 14, 2010. Singh, along with his accomplices, conspired to secure a loan of ₹4 million from the Union Bank of India’s SSI branch in Noida using forged documents in the name of his wife, Gurcharan Kaur.

Between May 2007 and June 2009, Singh managed to obtain a cash credit limit of ₹4 million on December 27, 2008, under the guise of his wife, who is the owner of M/S DP Electricals. This limit was acquired by presenting entirely false documents related to the electrical goods trade, resulting in a total loss of ₹4,140,394 to the bank.

After the investigation concluded, the CBI filed a chargesheet against Singh and other accused on September 29, 2012. However, Singh failed to appear in court, leading to the issuance of a permanent warrant against him on September 26, 2013. He was declared a fugitive on September 17, 2014.

Efforts to capture Singh had been ongoing, but in recent months, the CBI adopted a more systematic approach. They gathered and analyzed information from open sources, scrutinizing data from voter lists, mobile companies, and the transport department. Through data analytics and human intelligence, they traced Singh’s mobile numbers.

To evade capture, Singh frequently changed his address. Nevertheless, the CBI team successfully located him through regional surveillance and mobile data analysis in recent weeks.

On the morning of April 3, 2026, the CBI executed a well-planned operation and successfully arrested Davinder Pal Singh in Rajouri Garden. He has since been presented in court and is now in judicial custody.
