CBI Arrests 1992 Bank-Fraud Proclaimed Offender in Mumbai After Nearly 30 Years

Technical intelligence led investigators to the long-absconding accused, clearing the way for his separated trial to restart.

Overview

  • A CBI special team apprehended Anant Tambedkar, also known as Anant Tambitkar, in Mumbai on February 26 after nearly three decades on the run.
  • Investigators said technical intelligence and sustained field verification pinpointed his location before the arrest.
  • He was produced before the competent court following his detention and was remanded to judicial custody.
  • Tambedkar absconded after a 1996 charge sheet in a 1992 case alleging wrongful loss to the erstwhile State Bank of Bikaner & Jaipur, later merged into SBI.
  • Nine co-accused were previously convicted, and proceedings separated against Tambedkar are now set to resume.
