A 15-year-old boy has been detained for allegedly operating and updating a facebook page in the name of notorious criminal Anandpal Singh.

The accused minor, who neither has any criminal background nor any connection with Anandpal had made the page for fun and was excited with the response he got. Therefore, he kept updating the page, SP Amandeep Singh Kapoor said.

He recently updated the page with a message saying, 'coming soon with dhamaka'.

After investigation, the facebook page was found to be operated by the boy.

"He is being probed to ascertain other details," he said.

On July 25, documents of properties running in crores of rupees were recovered from the house of Anandpal Singh in Jaipur, during a raid.
 

Anandpal Singh, who carries a cash reward of Rs 5 lakh on head, had managed to escape while being taken back from a court to Ajmer jail in Parbatsar area of Nagaur last year.

He recently escaped after opening fire at a police party which left a sub-inspector injured in his village in Didwana town of Nagaur.
