The suspect following his detention by Delhi Police's Crime Branch unit
Amid the recent Gen Z uprising in Nepal that toppled the KP Sharma Oli administration, approximately 12,500 inmates escaped from prisons across the country. Among these escapees was a dangerous fugitive.
Arun, wanted in India for the 2017 murder of his girlfriend in Delhi, was apprehended at the Indo-Nepal border while attempting to return to his hometown in Bihar's Chhapra district.
The arrest was carried out by Delhi Police's Assistant Sub-Inspector (ASI) Ajay and his team, who intercepted the suspect at the Raxaul border using technical surveillance and informant networks.
On November 17, 2017, Pappu Singh from New Ashok Nagar in Delhi had filed a police complaint stating that Arun and his associate Pintu had abducted his daughter.
According to police reports, authorities later discovered the woman's body in Arun's rented accommodation. Police indicated she was brutally murdered, with her throat slit and multiple stab wounds inflicted.
Following this gruesome crime, the perpetrator fled, prompting authorities to announce a Rs 1 lakh reward for information leading to his capture.
While in Nepal, Arun and his companion Naushad were implicated in another female homicide, resulting in a 25-year prison sentence for Arun.
Exploiting the recent political turmoil in Nepal, he escaped custody once again and attempted to cross into India, where Delhi Police finally apprehended him.
"The suspect demonstrates extremely dangerous tendencies. He committed murders using identical methods in both Delhi and Nepal. Though he evaded capture for years, our team's persistent surveillance and diligent efforts ultimately led to his arrest," stated Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Crime Branch Harsh Indora.
The officer confirmed that the 8-year-old case will now proceed to trial once more.
