India, March 1 -- A 41-year-old suspected leader of an interstate property fraud gang was arrested from the city on Friday for allegedly cheating a resident by executing an agreement to sell 15 bigha land in Palwal and Noida for Rs.9.3 crore that was actually owned by another person, police said on Saturday.

The accused, Kavindra Bhati of Makoda Dadri village in Gautam Buddh Nagar, Uttar Pradesh, was arrested on Thursday and sent to judicial custody after completion of his two-day police remand on Saturday. Investigators said he had been evading arrest for 20 months.

Police said technical surveillance placed Bhati in Gurugram over the past few days, following which a team tracked his movements and apprehended him.
