A 29-year-old alleged interstate gangster, who was involved in a double murder case and jumped parole, has been arrested, police said today.
Acting on a tip-off, the accused, Avdesh Yadav alias Gabbar, was arrested from Nala Road between Najafgarh-Kakrola on January 20, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Crime) Bhisham Singh said.
"In September 2016, the accused, involved in several cases, including a double murder case, was released from jail on parole for his wife's treatment, but did not surrender and absconded to his native place in Shikohabad, Uttar Pradesh," the official said.
He was subsequently declared a proclaimed offender by the trial courts.
During interrogation, the official said, it was learnt that in 2008, Avdesh came in contact with another dreaded gangster Shiva Suri, and joined his gang in order to earn easy money.
"The Shiva Suri gang is active in west, south-west and Dwarka districts in Delhi and indulges in extortion from businessmen and trades," Singh said.
