Former IPS officer Amitabh Thakur arrested in 1999 Deoria industrial plot fraud case

Lucknow, Dec 10 (UNI) Former IPS officer Amitabh Thakur was arrested on Wednesday morning in connection with a long-pending case related to the alleged fraudulent allotment and subsequent sale of an industrial plot in Deoria district dating back to 1999.
The arrest was made around 3:45 am near the Sitapur–Maholi border, according to an official communique released by the Lucknow Commissionerate on Wednesday afternoon.
The case stems from a complaint filed by Sanjay Sharma, a resident of Rajajipuram under the Talkatora police station in Lucknow. According to the complaint, Nutan Thakur, wife of Amitabh Thakur, allegedly obtained Industrial Plot No. B-2 from the District Industries Center (DIC) Deoria in 1999 using false identities, including a fake name “Nutan Devi,” fabricated husband’s names, and an address in Khaira village, Sitamarhi district, Bihar.
