A warrant was issued after retired IAS officer Ramesh Thete repeatedly missed court hearings in Bhopal. He was apprehended by police in Nagpur's Manish Nagar area.
Police in Nagpur detained retired Indian Administrative Service officer Ramesh Thete following a court‑issued arrest warrant. The arrest took place in the Manish Nagar locality, according to local law‑enforcement sources.
The warrant stemmed from Thete's alleged involvement in a fraud and cheque‑bounce case that is currently being examined by a Bhopal court. He failed to appear for multiple scheduled hearings, prompting the judiciary to authorize his detention.
Thete, who belonged to the Madhya Pradesh cadre before retirement, has been a prominent bureaucrat in the state. His alleged misconduct has drawn attention because of his senior civil‑service background.
Authorities said the investigation will continue and Thete will be produced before the Bhopal court to face the pending charges. No further details on bail or sentencing have been released at this stage.
