K. Padmarajan, a 65-year-old tyre repair shop owner, began fighting elections in 1988 from Tamil Nadu state
The Abu Dhabi Police said on Saturday that they arrested the six Arab men after receiving complaints from several residents in the emirate who had been cheated by the men in the alleged house rent fraud.
Police said the Arab brokers had sublet apartment units in villas to the tenants after collecting a year's rent from them, but they disappeared without paying the landlords.
Police investigations showed that the suspects were leasing villas directly from the landlords after giving them post-dated cheques.
"The men then sublet the apartments to various tenants at low rents," Al Muhairi said in a statement.
"The suspects also made each of the tenants pay them the full rent for the houses. And after receiving the cash, the men vanished without paying the landlords."
The victims were able to identify the gang members after police arrested them. The accused have been referred to the public prosecution.
Brig Al Muhairi warned people against falling victims to online fraudulent real estate and rental advertisements.
