Parwanoo DSP confirmed that a Bathinda resident was arrested last evening from Punjab. “A sum of Rs 38 lakh was found in his bank account. He was working as a carpenter and was educated till Class IX. It seems his bank account was used by some miscreants and his involvement in the racket is being verified.”
