Abhinav Bindra's father arrested for fraud

India's first Olympics gold medal winner Abhinav Bindra's father AS Bindra was arrested by a Delhi Police team from his farmhouse in Punjab on Thursday evening for defrauding nationalised and private banks of millions of rupees.

Bindra senior was arrested by the Economic Offences Wing of the Delhi Police from his sprawling farmhouse in Punjab, 15 km from Chandigarh.

Police officials in Mohali town, adjoining Chandigarh, told reporters that Bindra complained of chest pain immediately after he was arrested. He was taken to the Government Medical College and Hospital (GMCH) in sector 32 here where he was examined.

Bindra had taken loans worth around Rs 90 million from various banks a few years ago for setting up his Punjab Meats Ltd plant at Derabassi town near Chandigarh in Punjab.

He allegedly failed to repay the loans and was booked in 2006 and 2007 at Delhi's Connaught Place Police Station. Bindra is likely to be taken to Delhi on Saturday, a police officer said.

His son Abhinav Bindra had become India's first Olympics gold medal winner August last year at the Beijing Olympics.
