SHILLONG: The CBI Shillong has arrested a wanted accused identified as Raj Narayan Rai from Madhubani, Bihar in connection with the withdrawal of Rs. 60 lakh from the account of the BSNL, Shillong in 2012.

Rai was produced before a lower court, which remanded him to 8 days custody of CBI.

The accused had absconded for a long time after withdrawal of Rs. 60 lakh from the current A/c of BSNL Shillong in January and February, 2012 by using forged check leaves with forged signatures.

The amounts were transferred to 9 bank accounts of different 9 Nationalised Banks situated in WB, New Delhi & Andhra Pradesh. All the 9 bank accounts were opened using fake documents.

Earlier, CBI had filed charge sheet against only one accused of Samastipur, Bihar namely Sanjeev Kr. Rai and later arrested another accused Bidyut Sarkar of Kolkata.

CBI is on hunt to arrest other 4-5 gang members of the racket as the names used in the Banks are pseudonyms for which they are not yet traceable.

It considers the arrest of Raj Narayan Rai of Bihar as a big success and it expects that it will be able to extract good lead about other accused  involved in the racket during his interrogation.
