Kochi: M V Uthup Varghese, owner of Al Zarafa Travel and Manpower Consultants, who was named accused in the nursing recruitment scam, was arrested in Abudhabi.four days back by the Interpol. As per the direction of the CBI, the Interpol had issued a redcorner notice against Uthup.

Uthup had moved the Supreme Court for an anticipatory bail plea. He had stated in his plea that he is ready to come to India and face probe but since a red-corner notice was issued against him by the Interpol, he is bound to be arrested if he reaches the airport and hence bail be granted. But the SC asked how could a plea of a person residing abroad be considered for bail and postponed the hearing for 4 weeks.

As per the case, Uthup swindled around Rs 300 crore by charging excess service charge. While the norms mandate a service charge of Rs 19,500 for getting recruited to firms in Kuwait, Al Zarafa charged nearly Rs 20 lakh from each candidate. The agency recruited as many as 1291 nurses. Of them, 1200 might have gone abroad, feels CBI.

The CBI said Uthup amassed wealth running to crores. He also attempted to influence other accused in the case. Despite serving notices on various occasions, he was reluctant to cooperate with the investigation.
