CBI Arrests Proclaimed Offender in 2008 Disproportionate Assets Case

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) arrested Santosh Kumar, a proclaimed offender in a disproportionate assets case registered in 2008 against then BSNL general manager Chandra Shekhar and others. Kumar was declared a proclaimed offender in 2011 after failing to join the trial. He allegedly created a false ownership trail using forged documents to claim ownership of Rs 85 lakh recovered during searches. His arrest followed technical intelligence and ground verification in Delhi, and he is being produced before the CBI court at Panchkula.
