Shillong, May 8: The CBI Shillong has arrested a wanted accused from Madhubani in Bihar in connection with the withdrawal of Rs 60 lakh from an account of the BSNL, Shillong.

The accused identified as Raj Narayan Rai Rai was produced before a lower court, after which, he was remanded to eight days custody of the CBI for interrogation.

The accused had absconded for a long time after withdrawing Rs 60 lakh from the current account of BSNL Shillong in January and February, 2012 by using forged check leaves and 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.
