Laxman had filed a complaint with Cyberabad police after discovering that Rs.10 lakh was withdrawn from his bank account without his knowledge.
According to police, bank officials had alerted them after the same amount was deposited into Sheikh's long dormant account at the Salt Lake branch.
"Following the information from the bank as well as intimation from the Cyberabad police, we laid a trap and apprehended Sheikh," added Ghosh.
