A Sri Lankan, who had allegedly swindled several people of Rs.8 million on the promise of sending them to England for studies, was arrested by the Colombo Fraud Investigation Bureau.  
    
Police said the suspect, who is from Kandy, had operated a recruiting agency, which he had used as a front to swindle money from gullible individuals.

He had fled the country in 2005 but was arrested when he returned last week.
