Bihar’s Motihari police arrested wanted criminal Aslam Ansari alias Gulten on Monday.

Ansari, a native of Birgunj in Nepal, has been involved in several illegal activities and was carrying a reward of  Rs 1 lakh on his head by the National Investigation Agency (NIA), officials said.

He was earlier arrested in 2019 and got a bail. Ansari jumped the bail and was absconding since then.

The NIA had issued a look out notice against him.

Following his arrest, Motihari police informed the NIA about it.

Ansari will be interrogated jointly by the police and the NIA, officials said.
