A native of Amritsar who had purchased goods worth `2 lakhs online by fraudulently using a credit card of the Indian ambassador to Sudan was arrested, the police said on Saturday.
Acting on the complaint of Indian ambassador to Sudan, Mr A.K. Pandey, the police arrested Avtar Singh, a resident of Tej Nagar of Sultanwind Road in Amritsar, when he was receiving delivery of the consignment booked by him online, a senior Delhi police official said.
