Ajay Gupta is on the run

Eyewitness News in South Africa reports that officials at OR Tambo International Airport are working with the Hawks as they try to "establish the whereabouts of Ajay Gupta, who is now considered a fugitive".
Ajay is wanted in connection with the fraud and money laundering investigation related to the Estina dairy farm project in the Free State.
According to the report, OR Tambo International Airport spokesperson Leigh Gunkel-Keuler told EWN that their records show that Gupta left the airport on a Dubai-bound Emarites flight 10 days ago. She says that if he returned to South Africa, he may have done so through other ports of entry.
"Airport officials will meet with Hawks investigators to hand over video footage showing Gupta's departure and also verify his flight details," EWN reported.
Gupta is one of several suspects identified in the Estina dairy project investigation, which allegedly unlawfully netted the Guptas more than R100 million of state funds.
On Thursday, eight accused appeared in the Bloemfontein Magistrate's Court. The case will be heard again in August.
Yesterday, the South African police obtained an arrest warrant for Ajay Gupta, the India-born close aide of scandal-hit former president Jacob Zuma, media reports said.
The Hawks on Wednesday arrested three people as they raided the posh home of the Guptas.
Ajay Gupta, said to be the patriarch of the embattled Gupta family, is now officially "on the run" and surrounded by a team of heavily armed bodyguards, Times Live reported quoting police officials.
