Bangalore, July 03: In the first deportation of an Indian from any African country, an accused in Rs 28 crore bank fraud, Karunakaran Vijay was today brought here from Nigeria to face trial in the case.
Vijay, accompanied by a team of Nigerian police, arrived at Mumbai from where they were escorted in a domestic plane here. CBI has charged Vijay with entering into a criminal conspiracy with some bank officials and duping banks in Goa, Bangalore, Chennai and Bhubaneshwar to the tune of Rs 28 crore by securing loan against fake documents. "No problem. I am back here. Don't worry," Vijay told reporters as he was taken away. He is expected to be produced before a court for his remand. CBI had last year secured an Interpol red corner warrant against Vijay.
