A person who was wanted in the United States for fraud in securities
and identity fraud was arrested by Central Bureau of Investigation and
is likely to be extradited

The Federal Bureau of Investigation has issued Red Corner Notice with
the Interpol and has initiated extradition request against him. The
extradition request is under process with Union Government, CBI said.
