Man wanted in UK for rape, attempt to murder, arrested

A 28-year-old man, against whom the Interpol had issued a red corner notice as he was wanted for rape and attempt to murder of two young women in Scotland, was arrested by Crime Branch of Delhi Police here.
The accused identified as Raminder Singh is an accused for assault, sexual assault, attempt to murder, sexual offences and attempt to defeat the ends of justice on two British women in July 2012, while he was in United Kingdom.
"He had escaped from UK after committing the crime and was staying in Chandigarh assuming fake identity. A Red Corner Notice for his apprehension was issued on July 24, 2012 and his extradition request was forwarded by UK authorities to the Ministry of External Affairs, Government of India," said Joint Commissioner of Police (Crime) Ravindra Yadav.

Ironically, Singh's mother is currently serving in Chandigarh Police and he had also stayed with his relative ASI Gurwinder Singh, an instructor, at Punjab Police Academy (PPA), Phillaur, evading arrest.
Additional Commissioner of Police (Crime) Ashok Chand said that Gurwinder Singh was not aware about Raminder's criminal background.
After requests by the British High Commission, Delhi Police got inputs that he was consistently shifting his bases between Chandigarh, Punjab and Delhi.
"Yesterday a specific information was received that he would come to Delhi to meet one of his acquaintances for getting a forged passport for himself on a fake identity. A trap was laid and Raminder Singh (28) was apprehended from Alipur, Delhi. He was later produced in a court. Interpol has been informed about his arrest," Yadav said.
