CBI Arrests Absconding Accused After 23 Years in 1998 Rs 9 Lakh Misappropriation Case
The CBI arrested Roop Singh, a proclaimed offender who had been absconding for nearly 23 years in a 1998 Maharashtra case involving the theft and misappropriation of goods worth around Rs 9 lakh. The case, directed to the CBI by the Bombay High Court, also involved accused Arjun Singh and two truck drivers. Both Roop Singh and Arjun Singh were released on bail during trial but later absconded and were declared proclaimed offenders. Roop Singh's arrest follows Arjun Singh's apprehension last year.
