New Delhi, Nov 24 (SocialNews.XYZ) Almost 11 months after registering a case, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Tuesday arrested Arun Pal, accused in an on-going investigation of a case relating to a tribal girl who went missing from Madhya Pradesh's Bhind during a visit to a relative's house.

A CBI official said that the agency arrested Pal from Punjab and the missing girl has also been found.

He said Pal was traced to Rajpura in Punjab.

The linked mobile number with the said bank account was allegedly in a third person's name.
