However, he then absconded and is believed to have been living in India since 2009.

Ali’s case was dismissed by the court due to the inability to execute a long standing search warrant.

However, the Fiji Police Force through the partnership between the Indian Government as well as INTERPOL, was able to arrest the accused.

Ali was arrested and escorted back to Suva by a senior officer of the Fiji Police Force.

He will be produced at the Suva Magistrates Court today.
