According to a report by the Hindustan Times, the Delhi police received information that Sanjeev Jain was at his Gurugram house. They reached his house to arrest him.
However, somehow he had fled to Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International (IGI) airport.
He was later arrested at the airport.
Warrants against Jain had been issued in a consumer complaint case in 2017 filed by a man identified as Rajat Babbar.
As per News18, there are a total of four non-bailable warrants and one bailable warrant from the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission pending at the Shahdara police station against him.
The report suggests a non-bailable warrant had been issued against the CEO on July 18 but he didn’t appear before the panel.
The police have been looking for him since.
Jain was later produced before the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission on Sunday.
