SHILLONG: The city police have managed to arrest runaway Inspector of Police (CID), Shillong, Anjan Chakraborty, against whom three FIRs had been registered.

Kharkrang also mentioned that Chakraborty has been forwarded to the Court and has been sent to one-day police custody.
One Karuna Sindhu Ghosh had lodged a complaint at Shillong Sadar police station stating that Chakraborty had introduced him (complainant) to one Gopinath Das, Chairman of Global Engineering Development Corporation, Kolkata, who promised to sanction a loan of Rs. 1 crore at the interest rate of 14 per cent per annum.
On February 27 this year, an MoU was signed by both the parties following which the complainant paid an amount of Rs. 19,50,000 as loan processing fees.
In March and April, the Company issued two cheques of Rs. 50 lakh each through Central Bank of India, Park Street, Kolkata, in the name of the complainant. However, both the cheques bounced. A second case was lodged by one Ranadhar Dhar at Shillong Sadar police station that on December 7, 2013 at around 3 pm, Anjan Chakraborty, went to his shop at GS Road, Shillong and offered to supply cameras to him.
