Mumbai, Feb 27 (PTI) A 46-year-old man wanted in a cheating case registered in Mumbai against whom a Look Out Circular (LOC) was issued, was detained at the Delhi international airport recently while he was trying to flee to Dubai, an official said on Sunday.
The accused, identified as Umar Abdul Aziz Bhawani alias Sohail Bhawani, was later arrested by the Mumbai Police.
