Couple absconding for 11 years in cheating cases held

One cannot escape the long arm of the law. In this case, a couple, eluding police for over a decade, has been arrested by the sleuths of Crime Investigation Department (CID) of the Telangana police.
According to additional director general of police, CID, Shikha Goel, the accused couple – Manikonda Anjaneyulu and his wife Manikonda Reeta – have gone into hiding after multiple cases of cheating were registered against them.
The CID chief said that the couple availed a huge business loan of Rs 27 crore from State Bank of India’s Balanagar branch. However, they became defaulters and vanished from Hyderabad following which the bank lodged a case against the couple.
Balanagar police transferred the case to CID. During the course of investigation, police found that five more cases – four in Hyderabad and one in Cyberabad – had been registered against the couple for cheating financiers to the tune of Rs 60 crore, Shikha Goel said.
The CID formed a special team headed by Deputy Superintendent of Police, P Sreedhar. The special team has been able to trace the accused couple to Bengaluru and finally nabbed them, the CID chief said.
