Kolkata, Feb 7 (IANS) The managing director of URO Group - a West Bengal-based deposit-taking company - has been arrested on charges of cheating and fraud, police said Saturday.

"Several warrants were pending against Biswapriya Giri and he was absconding for some time. A fresh complaint by a depositor was recently filed and we arrested him Friday night on charges of cheating, fraud and other charges," Assistant Deputy Commissioner of Police (Bidhannagar) Debashis Dhar said.
