A recent update on ₹5000 crore fraud by Nitin Sandesara revealed that the businessman along with his family might have escaped to Nigeria. In contrary, CBI wanted businessman was supposedly detained by UAE authorities in Dubai in August this year.

A source told TOI that the buzz about the detainment of Nitin Sandesara by UAE authorities was incorrect rather he along with his family escaped UAE much before that. It might be difficult for ED and CBI to catch Nitin Sandesara as India does not have a Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty with Nigeria.

Although, the government might request UAE authorities to arrange a provisional arrest in case he is caught.
