New Delhi, March 16 (Ajit Weekly News) A murder accused, absconding for the last 15 years, was arrested by the Delhi Police’s Special Cell from his hideout in Bihar’s Buxar, a police official said on Saturday.
The accused was identified as Sanjay Singh, a resident of Uttar Pradesh’s Jaunpur district, and a reward of Rs 50,000 was also declared on information leading to his arrest.
Deputy Commissioner of Police, Special Cell, Amit Kaushik said that information was received about Singh’s location.
“Acting swiftly on the information, the team apprehended Singh, from a relative’s house in a village in Buxar, Bihar,” he said.

On September 30, 2009, a quarrel broke out between petrol pump employees, including Singh, and Himanshu and his friends. “In the quarrel, Himanshu was shot dead by the accused persons. Six, including the petrol pump owner, were arrested in the case while Singh cunningly evaded arrest by fleeing from Delhi,” he said.
