Police arrest conman

BHUBANESWAR: Police on Monday arrested a conman, who vanished with a car five days ago.
Tapash Kumar Nayak (25), a commerce graduate and animation designer, befriended Sheikh Mustaffa a fortnight ago near a business area in the city where the latter has his car showroom. Nayak proposed to purchase an SUV and wanted to go for a test-drive. Though a driver was present during the test drive, Nayak managed to flee with the car.
The Kharavelnagar police have seized the stolen car. "We nabbed him after tracking his mobile phone with the help of a special squad of the commissionerate police. We are verifying his criminal antecedents, if any," inspector Manoj Kumar Samant said.
Nayak's arrest came a day after the seizure of three stolen bikes and an arrest made by cops under the same police station.
