Noida (UP): The Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS) of the Uttar Pradesh police said Sunday it has arrested two Chinese nationals here. The two Chinese nationals are allegedly involved in a money laundering case. The duo, including a woman, had allegedly used forged documents to open bank accounts. From these accounts money was used in criminal activities, the ATS said in a statement.
The Chinese nationals have been identified as Pochnli Tengli and Xu Xunfu. They were held from Noida in Gautam Buddh Nagar district Saturday, the ATS said.
“The UP ATS had earlier issued Red Corner Notices and Blue Corner Notices against the duo. Both the Chinese nationals were arrested Saturday on the basis of evidence following an investigation into the money laundering case,” it added.
A Red Corner Notice is a kind of international arrest warrant for fugitives. In it Interpol requests its member countries to arrest or detain them, while a Blue Corner Notice is an enquiry notice.
Officials are now trying to ascertain whether these two Chinese nationals were also involved in the loan app scam that has rocked Hyderabad with a number of people committing suicides after being duped and harassed. In that case also some Chinese nationals have been arrested. Investigations are on to find out whether those arrested here Saturday have links with those arrested in Hyderabad.
