The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Monday (April 13, 2026) arrested a person wanted in connection with a case of two Kolkata residents missing since July 2014. Absconding since then, the accused was tracked down to Surat in Gujarat.
The “notorious criminal” has been identified as Bhola Singh alias Gautam Kumar or Amit Sharma. The case was referred to the CBI by the Calcutta High Court during the hearing of a petition filed in 2015 with respect to the persons missing since July 14, 2014.
“Besides this case, Bhola Singh is a wanted criminal in 11 cases registered by the Bihar police pertaining to abduction, attempt to murder, murder and possession of illegal arms, and explosives,” said the agency.
The accused had been living in Surat using fake identity documents in the name of Amit Sharma. The agency produced him before a local court there to get his transit remand to Kolkata.
