The ATS team, led by assistant sub inspector Sandeep Ahlawat, stayed at Meerut in Uttar Pradesh, where the absconding accused, Kuldeep Yadav, was active, to gather information about him, SP ATS Vikas Kumar said today.
On getting information that Yadav has left for Badrinath in Uttarakhand, the ATS team followed him. When the accused was returning to Rishikesh, the ATS team set up a fake excise post on the road and intercepted his car, the SP said.
The accused was a meritorious MBBS student of a medical college at Rohtak in Haryana. He was a college topper but left studies in the final semester after he got involved in a land related dispute a few years back, the SP said.
