Mangaluru, Apr 17: K Abdul Khader, the managing director of Mangaluru based Al-Ikhlas Hajj & Umra Tours & Travels', has been arrested by police for allegedly cheating two Umrah pilgrimage aspirants.

khaderA team of police from Udupi district arrested Mr Khader in Mumbai on April 15 and brought him back to Karnataka for further inquiry, sources said.

In a separate complaint, Mr Iqbal, said to be a relative of Mr Kutti, stated that Mr Khader had taken Rs 3.3 lakh from him after promising Umrah pilgrimage.

It is learnt that Mr Khader was found in a lodge in Mumbai. A team of Kotal police led by Brahmavar circle inspector Arun G Nayak and Kota sub inspector Kabbalraj arrested him.

He was produced before a court on Saturday and investigations are on. Police are trying to find out whether the accused had cheated others too.
