Besides, declaring him as "absconding", police had also announced Rs 5,000 reward for informationleading to his arrest, the SP said.

Acting on a tip-off about his arrival at Jashpur Palace to take part in a programme related to traditional Dussehra festival of Jashpur, a team of police raided the spot last evening.
Sensing the movement of the police personnel, Vikramaditya fled from palace leaving his vehicle there, the SP said.
However, security personnel arrested him after a chase from Bene village forests, he added.
