Kukshi police arrested 55-year-old Sanjay Sharma on Friday, a year after he went on the run in connection with a fraud case. Sanjay Sharma, a resident of Susari village, was wanted alongside Virendra Sharma and Sanjay Bhavsar for allegedly duping 38-year-old Lokesh Patidar of Nisarpur village by pretending to be officials of Padmavati Sakh Sahkari Sanstha Maryadit, Kukshi.
Police had earlier arrested Sanjay Bhavsar during the investigation. While Sanjay Sharma evaded capture for a year, police finally apprehended him and produced him in court, where he was sent to judicial custody. The third accused, Virendra Sharma, remains absconding, with the police announcing a reward for information leading to his arrest.
Kukshi police continue their search for Virendra Sharma as the investigation into the fraud case progresses.
