Ajay Yadav, whose film "Overtime" released recently, was apprehended from Malavya Nagar last Friday on a tip off, Additional Commissioner of Police (South-East) Ajay Chaudhury said.
Yadav was declared a proclaimed offender in two cases of cheating registered against him in 2001 and 2002.
He was accused of cheating by his partner R K Wadhwa. Yadav had allegedly forged share certificates and sold them illegally. A case of stealing a cheque book and misusing was also lodged by Wadhwa against him.
Yadav, who hails from Mathura, is a Commerce graduate and came to Delhi in 1998 to start a business of exporting vegetables and fruits to West Asia.
"He started cheating his own partner by misappropriating amounts through forged cheques of his partner and then kept doing this kind of crime with others also. He absconded from Delhi in 2007 and started staying in Andheri West.
"There he posed as exporter as well as film producer in Mumbai. His latest film 'Overtime' was released on August 10. During questioning he told us that two more films are in progress," Chaudhury said.
