According to the police, the suspect jumped bail ever since as he failed to report as was directed by police investigators. They were hauled before the court on Thursday February 6, 2020 for the offence of fraud.

The suspect was said to have gone into hiding and his whereabouts till date unknown and all attempts to get the sureties produce him also proved futile.
