Man wanted in several murder, robbery cases arrested

A man wanted in connection with several cases of murder, robbery and dacoity was arrested from near the Karnal bypass flyover here, police said today.
Rahul, declared as a proclaimed offender in Delhi and Haryana after he stopped appearing before the courts in the cases in which he is an accused, was apprehended from near the Karnal bypass flyover where he had arrived to meet someone.
A special team, set up to trace members of the gangs operating in the north-west district as well as curb the increasing crime rate there, had received information on October 31 that Rahul would come to meet someone near the Karnal bypass flyover.

When the suspect arrived at the spot, one of the officers approached him and he tried to flee.
However, he was apprehended and on questioning kept changing his name, police said.
The police, thereafter, identified him to be Rahul, who was allegedly a sharp shooter in two notorious gangs of the area.

During interrogation, he revealed that he had earlier been arrested in two criminal cases in Delhi in which he was not attending court, police said.
Police claimed that during his questioning he disclosed that in December 2014 within a short span of 15-days he had committed a series of murders and robbery with the gang of Dinesh.

"They want to live a lavish lifestyle and are fond of cars for which they committed robberies of cash and cars. They committed many murders for vengeance," police said and added that "killing over trivial issues was just a matter of joy and satisfaction for the gang".
