Lucknow, Jan 27 (PTI) A Chinese national has been arrested by the Anti-Terrorist Squad of Uttar Pradesh police for allegedly transferring huge funds through online bank accounts opened on the basis of SIM cards procured against fake identity documents.

"The arrested Chinese national has been identified as Sun Ji Ying alias Devid. He was arrested from Gurgaon on January 26," UP ATS said on Wednesday.
