New Delhi, Oct 6 (PTI) Delhi Police’s Special Cell has arrested a wanted criminal was allegedly involved in several cases of forgery and cheating in Delhi and other states, officials said on Friday.

Gaurav, a resident of Sagarpur, was carrying a reward of Rs 50,000. On Wednesday, a trap was laid in Janakpuri area and the suspect was nabbed, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Special Cell) Ingit Pratap Singh said.

Gaurav was a student of mechanical engineering at an institute in Vikaspuri.

In February 2016, he joined the courier company of one Sri Prakash Dubey at Durga Park, Delhi. Under the guise of courier work, Dubey and his associates used to cheat people on the pretext of insurance policies, insurance bonuses, etc, police said.
