Overview

  • Mohammad Dilshad was arrested at Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport as he arrived from Madinah via Jeddah using a fraudulent passport.
  • He faces charges of murdering a coworker at a Riyadh workshop in October 1999, where he served as a heavy motor mechanic and security guard.
  • An initial look-out circular issued in April 2022 failed to intercept him after he adopted a false identity and forged travel documents.
  • The CBI leveraged technology-driven leads supported by human sources to trace his new passport, prompting a fresh circular that enabled his detention.
  • He was produced in a Delhi court on August 14 and remanded to judicial custody as investigators continue probing the homicide and related document fraud.
