The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has apprehended a proclaimed offender, Satyendra Kumar, who had been absconding for over 25 years in connection with a fodder scam case.

In the year 2001, a charge sheet was filed in this case. The court had issued a permanent warrant of arrest against the accused when he failed to appear before the court during trial.

The location of the accused was traced in Nepal. On October 22, 2026, the officials noted that the accused was travelling in India from Guna (M.P.) to Lucknow (U.P.). Upon receipt of the information, a specialised CBI team was formed to catch the accused on his way.

The team reached the Lucknow Railway Station before the arrival of the train. At midnight, the train reached the station, and the CBI team immediately nabbed the accused. Presently, the accused is under arrest and is being sent to Ranchi on transit remand to be produced before the competent court to face trial.
