In a significant development in an ongoing financial fraud case, Rakhi Mittal, the wife of a fugitive builder wanted in India, has been arrested in Dubai with the assistance of Interpol. Authorities in Dehradun have confirmed that preparations are underway to initiate her extradition to India for further legal proceedings.
Rakhi Mittal was apprehended in Dubai after Indian law enforcement agencies issued a request through Interpol. She had reportedly been evading authorities in connection with a case involving financial irregularities linked to her husband, a builder who is currently absconding. The arrest marks a key breakthrough in tracking individuals connected to the alleged fraud network operating across borders.
Officials stated that the action was taken based on inputs shared through international policing channels, indicating coordinated efforts between Indian authorities and foreign law enforcement agencies.
