A proclaimed offender, who has allegedly duped several people to the tune of over Rs 10 crore, and was carrying a reward of Rs 20,000 has been arrested by the Delhi police.
Based on a tip-off, Danish Ahmad (30) was arrested from Krishna Nagar area yesterday. He was evading arrest since 2013, police said.
During interrogation, the accused confessed that he cheated several persons including one Taiyyab Ali by making them deposit money while alluring with the promise of giving hefty profits in return.
