A Delhi-based property dealer wanted in connection with a cheating case was arrested at the airport on Tuesday morning. Karnal Singh, 42, had travelled to Cambodia from Delhi on May 2, said police.

“There was a lookout notice for Singh, so we intercepted him and handed him over to the police,” said an immigration officer. The notice was issued on May 6.

On Tuesday, Singh flew to Calcutta from Bangkok on an Air India flight. He said he had gone abroad on business and had planned to return to Delhi from Calcutta. He was later handed over to the police and placed under arrest.

A police team from Delhi will visit Calcutta on Wednesday to take Singh into custody.
