An undertrial who had escaped from custody last month was arrested from Gurgaon, police said on Wednesday.
On July 17, two constables were killed near Banither village after unidentified assailants opened fire at a jail van to help Shakeel, Kamal and Dharampal escape.
The van was returning with 24 prisoners to Moradabad from a court hearing in Chandausi.
Dharampal was arrested from Gurgaon in Haryana by the Sambhal police on Tuesday and he has been brought here under heavy security, Superintendent of Police Yamuna Prasad said.
