New Delhi: A criminal sentenced to life imprisonment for murder, who absconded after being granted parole in 2018, has been arrested after six years of evading authorities. During his time on the run, the accused assumed a new identity and built a notorious reputation as a mafia figure on the Bihar-Nepal border, engaging in extensive smuggling activities. His involvement in several cases under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act kept him under radar of police officials, but he continued to evade capture.

Three-month chase leads to arrest

The breakthrough in this long-running manhunt came after Jodhpur Range Inspector General (IG) Vikas Kumar and his team led a relentless pursuit. After covering over 3,000 kilometers and maintaining a continuous chase for three months, the team successfully apprehended the fugitive, who had a bounty of ₹50,000 on his head. The arrest marks a significant victory in a case that has spanned multiple years and state borders.

IG Vikas Kumar and his dedicated team have been lauded for their exceptional efforts in capturing the absconding criminal. The challenging nature of the operation, which required careful coordination and persistence, underscores the team's commitment to upholding justice. Their success in this case not only brings a fugitive to justice but also dismantles a smuggling network that has troubled the region for years.

Live video of arrest shared on social media

The police team recorded the arrest in a live video, which has since been shared on social media. The video reveals how the criminal had been living under a false identity while engaging in illicit activities. His new life, built on deception and crime, has now come to an end with his capture. The footage highlights the meticulous planning and efforts of the police team, further bolstering their achievement in apprehending a dangerous fugitive.
