Madhya Pradesh Lokayukta Police arrested a former MP Transport Department Constable outside the Bhopal Court premises on Tuesday, minutes before he was to appear in the court to surrender.
The police took Saurabh Sharma to the Lokayukta office for interrogation.
Sharma's lawyer Rakesh Parashar said his client was going to appear before the court at 11 a.m. on Tuesday, a day after he submitted a surrender application before the Lokayukta Special Judge R P Mishra. But the Lokayukta Police arrested him before he could surrender.
Facing allegations of amassing disproportionate assets, cash and valuables worth crores of rupees, Saurabh Sharma had filed a surrender application in the Special Lokayukta Court at Bhopal on Monday, after being untraceable for 41 days.
