The UT Police today arrested a proclaimed offender, Avtar Singh Saini, alias Nagla, in a case of fraud registered against him in 2009.

Nagla had hit the headlines in April when he staged a month-long treetop protest at Zirakpur.

The accused is a former director, Krishi Vikas Kendra, Punjab.

The Sector-39 police arrested Nagla in a case under Sections 406 and 420 of the IPC, lodged against him in 2009. The police said Nagla had been booked for cheating and criminal breach of trust on the complaint of Kulwant Singh of Dadu Majra, who was defrauded of Rs 24 lakh on the pretext of opening a gas agency.

The complainant had given Nagla Rs 15 lakh in cash and the rest of the amount through cheque. However, he was defrauded as no such gas agency was given to him as promised. The accused had been at large ever since the registration of the case. The accused and the complainant are distant relatives.
