Bareilly housing scam accused held after 15-yr chase
He was wanted in multiple cases of fraud and embezzlement totaling over Rs 4 crore.
According to officials, Dilip Kumar, a resident of Gotiya Khurram in Bareilly, allegedly duped investors by forming a fake housing society called Krishna Awasiye Samiti. He showed forged maps supposedly approved by the Bareilly Development Authority and collected large sums of money by selling plots and land parcels. After swindling investors, he went underground.
On May 25, 2010, the Uttar Pradesh govt transferred the investigation of these cases to the EOW in Lucknow. During the probe, Kumar was found guilty, prompting the court to issue arrest warrants against him in multiple cases. Despite continuous efforts, he evaded arrest for 15 years.
On Friday, the EOW team successfully apprehended Kumar, ending his long run from the law. Further legal proceedings are underway.
