New Delhi [India], April 9 : Amid claims in section of media that he has been detained in Dubai, alleged gangster Rao Inderjit Yadav has denied such reports and said he is at his home and has not been contacted by any authority.
Reports in a section of media, citing sources, had said that Yadav had been arrested in Dubai and could be extradited to India soon.
"I am sitting at my home in Dubai. I have not been arrested. I have not received a single notice or summons from any authority," Yadav toldin a video interview.

Yadav and his accomplices are facing probe by ED in a money laundering case.
Officials said that "businessman-turned-gangster is wanted in various cases" lodged by Haryana Police.
