The Central Bureau of Investigation has taken into custody an accused who had evaded arrest for 18 years in a bank fraud case in Bihar.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has arrested an accused in a bank fraud case that has been pending in Bihar for nearly two decades. The suspect had been evading law enforcement since the alleged offence was first reported.
The arrest was carried out in a coordinated operation by CBI officials, following a thorough investigation that traced the accused’s whereabouts.
The case, which involved fraudulent withdrawal of funds from a local bank, had stalled due to the suspect’s disappearance. The arrest is expected to move the case forward and allow the court to proceed with trial proceedings.
Authorities have not yet released the name of the arrested individual, but the operation underscores the CBI’s commitment to pursuing long‑delayed fraud cases.
