A 24-year-old man, who allegedly murdered four persons in a span of 10 days in Uttar Pradesh, has been arrested from near Keshav Puram metro station here, police said today.
The accused, identified as Rohit Kumar alias Baba, a native of UP's Baghpat, was the active member of a UP-based gang headed by one Prince, Joint Commissioner of Police (Crime) Ravindra Yadav said.
Baba allegedly committed as many as four murders, two highway robberies and had fired at a police team in one case, following which he escaped, in a 10-days' span in December-January, said police.
