The Jaipur police have arrested a Dubai-based businessman from Bengaluru for cheating a firm that deals in sandstones in the Pink City.
Syed Mukhtar Ahmed was arrested from a penthouse in Xavier Layout near Garuda Mall in Bengaluru on September 3. He is a resident of 19, Moyen Ville Road, Langford Town.
According to an FIR (198/2008) lodged against him at Jaipur's Nahargarh police station in 2008, Mukhtar owns a company called M/s Al Shams Stone Trading LLC, Dubai, and had placed an order with a Jaipur-based company for supply of sandstones for some projects in the West Asian city. He gave eight cheques to the tune of 3.13 lakh UAE Dirham as payment for the purchase in 2007, but the last two cheques bounced. He fled Dubai shortly thereafter to escape from the UAE's strict cheque bounce law, the FIR said.
Rajeev Yudhuvanshi, Station House Officer, Nahargarh police station, said, "We went to Bengaluru four times to arrest him but could not trace him as he frequently changed his address. His bail application was rejected and he was remanded in judicial custody.
He is presently in the Jaipur Central Jail. He has been booked under sections 406 (criminal breach of trust) and 420 (forgery)."
