Manglaur police with the help of local Military Intelligence (MI) arrested the wife of a fugitive army soldier for duping people on the pretext of getting them recruited into the armed forces.
Police said the fugitive soldier, identified as Sonu Pundir (25), is a resident of Hiranwara village in UP's Shamli district. Pundir along with his gang, comprising his wife and two men, has been extracting over Rs 30 lakh from people over the last two years. According to police, one Sanjay Saini, a resident of Kurdi near Manglaur, had approached them last year stating that the accused visited his roadside restaurant in army uniform one day and said that if anyone wants to join the army, he could be of help.
