The cyber crime cell of Gurgaon Police has arrested one Himanshu Bhatt alias Himanshu Rajender Bhatt from Mumbai, who was wanted by Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and also Police of Mumbai, Chennai and Kolkata in total 13 cases including three registered with CBI.
A spokesman of Haryana Police said that Gurgaon-based Messers Elite IT Solutions had got a complaint lodged with the Gurgaon Police that Himanshu had fraudulently got Rs 40 lakh from this company with the false promise of getting them a loan of Rs 3.5 crore. But when the company did not get loan for a considerable period, the Gurgaon Police was informed, which immediately swung into action and registered First Information Report Number 876 dated November 15, 2014 under Sections 419, 420, 467, 468, 471 of Indian Penal Code and Sections 66-C and 66-D of IT Act at Police Station, Gurgaon Sadar.
The investigation of the case was handed over to the team led by Inspector Sudhir Kumar of Cyber Crime Unit, Gurgaon.
The Gurgaon Police has found that the accused was residing in a posh area in Goregaon in Mumbai, where some industrialists and those related to film industry also reside. He was leading a very lavish life and was a frequent visitor to some foreign countries including Singapore, Malaysia, England, Dubai, USA and Europe. Many of the persons to whom he had cheated had met him during air travel.
At the time of his arrest, he was in a high-profile gym at Goregaon. This 55-year old accused is married, has two children, but with a view to hoodwink the CBI and the police of some states that were after him, he got his body weight reduced from 125 kg to 76 kg as a result of which he looked younger, said the spokesperson.
The spokesman said that the accused is very cunning and can be described as the biggest Natwar lal of Mumbai.
He said that he was wanted by CBI in a case in which he had got loan of Rs 7.5 crore sanctioned from Bank of Baroda through bogus documents. His brother and wife have already been arrested in cases of fraud registered with police of Mumbai and Chennai. The police also recovered Rs two lakh from his possession.
