Raj Singh Gehlot, owner of the famous Gurugram based Ambience Mall, was arrested on Thursday by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in a bank fraud case.
Gehlot was arrested on charges of bank loan fraud worth Rs 200 crore. An ED official told IANS that Gehlot has been arrested from Haryana’s Gurugram and will be produced before a court in Delhi later in the day.
