Delhi Police's Crime Branch has apprehended a fugitive wanted for the past 15 years in relation to a 2011 robbery and Arms Act case. The accused, identified as Ravinder alias Sonu alias Chikna, had a bounty of ₹20,000 on his head.
The suspect had evaded law enforcement by changing his identity to Dilbag Singh. Police said he had been moving between states, including Kolkata and Bareilly, to avoid detection. He eventually returned to Delhi, where he secured employment as a driver at a factory, believing he could remain undetected.
The Crime Branch successfully traced and arrested the fugitive, bringing him into custody for interrogation. Officers are now questioning him regarding the 2011 case and investigating his activities during his years on the run. The arrest marks a significant breakthrough in a case that had remained unsolved for over a decade.
Police have not disclosed additional details about his alleged accomplices or the specific incidents related to the 2011 robbery case. The investigation is ongoing.
