New Delhi, Aug 23 (UNI) The Central Bureau of Investigation today said they have arrested one Dinesh D. Gehlot, a proclaimed offender in a high-value bank fraud case, pursuant to sustained and meticulous efforts made by its investigating team.
The case against him was registered in 2004 for defrauding Bank of Baroda. It was alleged that the accused, Dinesh D. Gehlot, had dishonestly applied for a housing loan by using forged and fabricated documents.
After completion of investigation, a chargesheet was filed in the case in 2007 against the accused.
The accused failed to join the trial or respond to summons/warrants and was untraceable since 2024. Multiple Non-Bailable Warrants (NBWs) were issued against him and a special CBI court in Mumbai later declared him proclaimed offender.
Despite sustained efforts over the time to trace him, the accused remained untraceable.
“The accused Dinesh D. Gehlot had frequently changed residences. He had misled the local residents about his real identity and had maintained minimal interaction with locals, further hindering efforts to trace him,” said the official.
The CBI, through the deployment of advanced technological tools and identity-tracking database, meticulously analyzed the digital footprint of the absconding accused to ascertain his current identity and location.
“Supplemented by extensive field investigations and on-ground inquiries, the CBI team successfully located the accused Dinesh D. Gehlot in Noida,” said the official.
“Pursuant to his identification, the accused was apprehended and produced before the competent court in Mumbai, which remanded him in judicial custody,” the official said.
