DCP (Crime) Akhil Patel told Free Press Journal that accused Arun Mishra, a native of Sursa Kalan village, was on the run for the past three years. The cop said that Mishra had earlier duped a man residing in Govindpura of Rs 30 lakh, promising to get him a government job. But when the aspirant failed to get the promised job, he demanded Mishra to return the amount. Mishra and his sons, Pramod and Prakash had then handed him a cheque of Rs 30 lakh, but the cheque bounced when it was presented in the bank, said the official. The man then approached the crime branch and lodged a complaint. Police had then nabbed Prakash and Pramod, while their father had gone on the lam.

The officer said that on Wednesday, the crime branch received a tip-off that Arun Mishra was about to surrender before the court. The team rushed to the spot and took him into custody, as soon as he reached the court , said the DCP adding that he was then produced at the court.
