New Delhi: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has hit a jackpot! After years of chasing, they have finally arrested Dinesh D Gehlot, a proclaimed offender in a major bank fraud case. The buzz started back on May 31, 2004, when the Bank of Baroda cried foul. Dinesh had slyly applied for a housing loan using forged and fabricated documents. That was no ordinary fraud – it was high stakes! The CBI wrapped up their probe and filed a charge sheet on April 30, 2007, naming Gehlot as a key conspirator who cheated the bank. But the man vanished! Ignoring court summons and multiple Non-Bailable Warrants, he became a ghost, always shifting homes, fooling neighbors about who he really was, and keeping to himself. The hunt was on for years. Then, on December 9, 2024, the Special Judge of CBI in Greater Bombay issued a Proclamation Warrant to find him. And guess what? With the help of cutting-edge tech tools and deep digital detective work, plus boots on the ground, the CBI cracked the puzzle. They tracked down his digital traces and found him in Noida! On August 20, 2024, Dinesh Gehlot was caught and brought straight to court in Mumbai. Now in judicial custody, he’s facing trial. This thrilling catch shows how smart technology combined with relentless police work can catch even the slipperiest offenders. The CBI’s dedication paid off big time!
